"I can't get enough of this band. I first saw them live early last year and I have seen them a further three more times since. What they do both live and on this record is extremely difficult to do. To make experimental rock music this catchy and instantaneous is rare, once in a blue moon if we are lucky."
"There are so many beautiful moments on this record. It's got an underwater sound and when Cate's voice and the saxophone mingle it's heavenly. The three final tracks, Body as a River,' Ride' (which features John Cale) and I Know What's Nice' are my favourites, as well as Pieces of My Heart,' which is a tearjerker. A heartbreak record for the ages."
Dry Cleaning members Lewis Maynard, Florence Shaw, and Tom Dowse list favorite albums of 2025. Lewis praises YHWH Nailgun's 45 Pounds for blending experimental rock with immediate catchiness and lauds Richard Dawson's End of the Middle for its stripped-back clarity and emotional highs and lows. Florence highlights Cate Le Bon's Michelangelo Dying for underwater textures, saxophone interplay, and tearjerking closing tracks; she celebrates Nourished by Time's The Passionate Ones for unpredictability and unique vocals, and recommends Frog's The Count for its faltering charm, humor, and romance. Tom selects Calvary's White Ruins. Dry Cleaning's Cate Le Bon-produced album Secret Love releases January 9 via 4AD.
