DRY CLEANING GOODNIGHT
Hotly-tipped London outfit Dry Cleaning have revealed the second single from their forthcoming Sweet Princess EP. Following the roaring success of their royally-themed debut 'Magic of Meghan', 'Goodnight' is a driving portion of erratic post-punk meets rampant garage rock. Defined by the track's unusual faux stream of consciousness-style vocals, singer Florence Shaw weaves together snippets of everything from overheard conversations to Youtube comments, which result in what can only really be described as the ramblings of a mad woman (and we mean this in the best possible way). Shaw explains, “The YouTube comments represent strangers sharing poignant memories. The phrases from ads suggest our bodies are naturally disgusting, that we ought to work harder, and that our relationships might fail. Goodnight is partly about feeling fed up with these ideas, and partly about feeling uplifted by openness on the internet.” Check it out here now. -Holly Mullineaux
