"why don't you want oven chips now?" made me do a little embarassing snort-laugh. Love it.
as someone obsessed with both this band and tiny things, this video is just REALLY doing it for me
congratulations, finally the world fits you.
the same!!
I know, right?! They're everything! I, too, adore all that is tiny!!!
You have "Snow White Syndrome"
Needs more kitten
This song hit all the right buttons in my brain. Then I watched the video, and realized I had more buttons.
LOL I love this comment
All. The. Buttons.
You're hilarious!
Hahahaha. Perfect comment.
It's so good!¡!!!!!!!
"Well I tell you one thing; you've got it coming. One day you're gonna GEDDIT"
A chilling vision of things to come there.
The guitar sound on this record is absolutely tremendous.
4AD is an unparalleled curatorial musical force. For like 40 years.
Truth! One of the first CDs I ever bought was Come On Pilgrim (1987).
Absolutely!
@@BrendanMacWade Same here! Surfer Rosa & Come on Pilgrim were my downfall into this beautiful abyss...
Thanks for the heads-up. 😊
Well said. Awesome label!
I'm 71. Just saw them in Toronto. Love the band.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to Dry Cleaning
Nice one! I’m 59….I also love this
She should be the narrator of every audiobook.
It’s like spoken word poetry backed by tight musicianship, and for that reason sharks, I’m willing to invest.
just as many of us enjoyed with John Cooper Clarke & The Invisible Girls - back in the day.
@@davidtate8273 Spot on tie-in
perfect description.
and going by your icon (and a fellow TMV fan): I can see how this sort of music attracts other TMV fans. the musicianship is just THERE.
Buy low sell high!
The Fall meets Sonic Youth
A woman in aviators firing a bazooka ❤
"bahh-zew-kuh"
Love how she pronounces that.
@@LiamPorterFilms Deep down that's shallow.
I knew I wasn't the only one to like Dark Fate ;)
Is that not the way other people pronounce it?
Joy Division topped by Patti Smith poetry. Just spectacular.
I get goosebumps everytime she says "One day you are gonna get it"
and then the "HA" that comes after is just the cherry on top
@@sunsetman22 Yesterday was the day that I got it, and it came with both a HA and a bazooka but no lanyard.
If you read the comments while the song is playing you get to this comment at the exact time it happens.
Florence often channels this fun but dark persona and I think she enjoys playing this type of character. It's like Jodie Comer when she found it cathartic playing psychopathic assassin Villanelle in the TV show Killing Eve. Florence is a lovely person who has a laugh with the band and the audience between songs but during the songs it's as if she's in character or in her performance persona. It's great to watch her perform.
You got a new coat, new hair, but I’ll tell you one thing
One day, you’re gonna get it
Mr. Guitar player: Don't change a thing. Keep doing what you're doing.
just straight jam shredding. so good.
With 47 years of guitar experience, I agree 100%
loving the playing and the tone
@david calatayud Certainly less chaotic playing than At the Drive-In - which is not necessarily a bad thing. Great riffing and tone indeed.
yeah, good post punk guitarrist
This song is just chock full of kickass riffs
This album is chock full of kickass riffs
Not sure why, but the guitar work reminds me of INXS, The One Thing.
The guitar in background is worth following
I just stumbled across this song. My daughter was listening to her playlist on auto and she'd left the room while i was cleaning the kitchen and after 20 seconds I had to stop to find out who it was. I LOVE this song. Reminds me of an 80s pop rhythm with a 90s indie sound.
The lyrics are wonderfully disjointed, I do wonder how Florence manages to remember them all without jumbling them up, especially when first performing them. Elevated spoken word. This stuff really is magikal :)
everything is so hypnotizing about this song. the nonchalant spoken word lyrics, the catchy guitar and bass riffs… *chefs kiss*
don't forget the subtle eyebrow raises and the inscrutable scowl, lol
One of the ones where it finishes only to immediately be played again and then again a few times the next morning.
This is one of the smartest, most inventive music videos I've seen in a long long time. I am so onboard.
Agreed!
Totally agree! So good to see an intelligent 'Official Video'. Visually/artistically , this picks up where Talking Heads left off in 1980. Musically, it's in a world of it's own.
Me too, awesome video.
Different level, brilliant
Cleverish budget video, which is the standard nowadays. They would deserve more.than this.
i feel like the lyrics are just fragments of conversations, also it could not get more modern-british than the discussion over oven chips
Yeah it’s like she can’t stop hearing certain phrases on repeat in her head and they work their way into the art somehow. “Tokyo bouncy ball” “do everything, feel nothing” “a woman in aviators firing a bazooKA”, “why don’t you want oven chips?” I love this song more and more because of the lyrics.
Good observation. Check out their full performance on KEXP; during the interview portion she says overheard conversational fragments are the exact source of her lyrics, plus random Twitter and Instagram posts that she's stored away for whatever reason. Cool fucking band.
I laughed so hard when she said that line about oven chips. Dry Cleaning are so incredible and I'm thrilled that they're with a label who will know what to do with them.
@@ThatJoeGClift In my family we often mutinied against our parents for too many oven chips in the week... very boring food.
@@LiamPorterFilms I agree wholeheartedly with you (at the expense of upsetting my Northern cousins haha). The line in the song is just so decidedly and uniquely English, which I think is perhaps the key strength of the lyrics. Not only are they consistently interesting, amusing or insightful, but they are all of those things in a way that is often completely unique to their origin. In a world that is so interconnected I find it fascinating to have a band who are so consistently and specifically from a certain time and place.
this is the most brilliant music video i've seen in a long, long time. killer music, killer vision. brings me back to when people tried to make statements with their music videos.
exactly - it's just the one idea. It reminds me of Michel Gondry.
Anyone read the transcript? Luverley.
absolutely brilliant. my favorite part is when she says menacingly 'you're going to get it' then an aggressive exhalation of breath. pure genius
Wow just wow... Dry Cleaning are the most interesting artists I've heard since Aldous Harding--another 4AD find. This band is giving me the same feeling I had when I got my first Bauhaus album in 1986 or when I bought Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation album in 1990. Hats off to these artists and to 4AD for finding them and having the courage to release this.
Pylon
Sonic Youth x Joy Division
I like the EPs and singles, but was completely underwhelmed by the LP-which is surprising being that I’m a huge fan of The Fall and Sonic youth.
The level of perceptiveness and beautifully presented cynical observations in the lyrics combined with the expression, precision, realness and subtlety they are delivered with is just too much for my brain. AAAARGH! Too amazing!
It’s a Life without buildings rip off
What a band and what a vocalist. There's something magical in the way that they chose Florence Shaw to join them. They saw something in her. She was an artist and lecturer but they saw her as someone who was gifted enough to be the vocalist for the band. Whether she sang or spoke. They were right. What makes Dry Cleaning such an amazing band is you have this great music from the lads combined with the unique and wonderful lyrics of Florence Shaw.
So true!
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to Dry Cleaning
It seems like she'd make a great actress, good looking too. What did she lecture in?
@@anneother6224 Graphics, Illustration, drawing ...
When you've known each other for years like this band before becoming a band there's already a great chemistry between them.
I feel like this is a song about someone simply checking into life, collecting experiences and marking off a list because that is what is expected.
That is literally what she does. Che collects conversations
That riff, can't get enough of it 💗
This entire album is my top go to listening album for the next lifetime.
Love their sound.
Stay Clean
love the way she says 'child chat.'
This made blood flow into new parts of my brain.
In a weeks time I've come from deeply respecting the artisty of this band to falling in love with everything they do, this *IS* now my new favorite band.
I have just listened to this like 10 times in a row, i’m so obsessed
This band are a breath of fresh air, and a proper break from the norm. Fantastic pace, vibe, lyrics, visuals and so much energy. What an outfit. Can't wait to see you all live!
I love them.
Dry Cleaning is poetry in motion...literally & figuratively.
that guitar "wwwaaaaAAHHH" before the solo was incredible.
Ear worm does not capture the extent of how this track haunts me 25/8. Their energy keeps me going at 65 years old.
Fuck it - this the best band I have heard in at least 10 years. It’s exhilarating...
these guys are great! check out black midi, squid, and black country new road if you haven't already
Check out the Drinks
Only heard them the first time Tuesday night - so excited about them!
Some of the lines in this are just genius!....do everything and feel nothing!
I love Dry Cleaning! "I've come here to make a ceramic shoe and I've come to smash what you made / I've come to learn how to mingle / I've come to learn how to dance..."
...what a great synthesis of art, music and humor ... I love it!
I could listen to her voice for hours and hours.
Damn. I’m 61. I’m not supposed to like this stuff anymore. Damn. This is f***kin’ brilliant. Damn. Brilliant lyrics. Damn.
Most fans are from older age groups, according to the comments. We've been listening to this (or even far more radical) sort of music for decades. Youths are living in a different world now.
That's crazy - there's nothing you're not supposed to like! This is your youth - channelling late '70s/early '80s post punk. Glorious!
@@ipiap True - and a quick google search confirms to me that most of the virtual ink spilled about this band seems to be from older "critics."
@@unakennelly What threw me was the lyrical content, which when it comes from other young artists, I find less relatable as I age. This (and others from their album) hits the bullseye.
You can like any stuff at any time!
It's your life to do what you want!
"I wanted to make my head appear larger and the easiest way to do that was to make my surroundings smaller..."
Haha, great quote!
the lead singer said this?
@@LiamPorterFilms David Byrne
@@vilo1264 Oh, the quote about making his head seem smaller by wearing a larger suit?
@@LiamPorterFilms yeah)
I keep coming back here every few days to see this video again and again and again. It's even my profile pic on Facebook, just far too cool.
Already listened to it like 10 times today
Me too!
Same
I've listened to it only once, but I do it every day
Just the 5 times for me today, but it's only 9.30
Just when I thought great/original music was a thing of the past, this comes along and blows me away. Wow!!
there may be hope for music yet! Dry Cleaning is a perfect example of that. if the world were to end in a few short weeks, I'd leave feeling glad I got to experience Scratchcard Lanyard (among other things of course)
Hardly original. Don’t get me wrong I love their sound, but that’s because it’s directly taken from Sonic Youth and The Fall!
oh here's another one! arrogance and ignorance often go hand in hand
@@zeb1995 boo hoo, Paul sad.
Unbelievable! This band would fit perfectly 4AD's "Natures Mortes - Still Lives" compilation. And nobody would probably guess that they recorded their music almost 40 years later. We are back in the early 80's. Love it!
Found this band during Covid. Love this band so much. I've seen them 4 times and can't wait til they tour again.
Why this is so good? I'm fascinated...
There is something beautiful about this band.
4AD giving us that much needed lift late in the week! Thank you!
Love watching the guy on the left play his guitar
Me too.
Yo I'm OBSESSED with the guitars wtf
Have been loving this for a month now and can say, with some certainty, that the sharp exhale at 3:45 is the best bit of audio of 2020.
her skin is so clear and well taken care of
We first saw this at 2K views and thought it was mesmeric. Razor sharp bass and guitar and one of the most immersive videos in years. Heading to 500K views now and getting mainstream press. Good luck to them... they've clearly got the minerals.
500k views, probably 50,000 people. You can't listen to this only once.
Loved seeing you up at The Park at Glastonbury. I was the one who picked up the beach ball for this track. It was a Somerset bouncy ball.
I learned about Wet Leg and this band in a one-month span. I think I have what I need for the year.
now rediscover Dead Anyway
Quite astonishing. I'm so glad there are bands making music like this still these days. Fucking marvellous.
Listening to this in Feb 2021 just after the birth of my baby in the midst of covid. Listened to this song on repeat. Lyrics, tone, melody seemed to capture some kind of feeling, randomness, chaos and feeling EVERYTHING! And moving into a new era
"Scratchcard Lanyard" debuted on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
I LOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG!!! I wish I could like it multiple times!
simply brill in every way...particularly the ceramic shoe
I need more music with London accent ... it sounds so special .
Just had the amazing pleasure of seeing them in San Francisco. They were outstanding. Florence Shaw was on my bucket list. Check!
Has a Sonic Youth thing. And that’s a good thing.
You mean kool thing :)
Reminds me a bit of the Cocteau Twins from around 1981. Brilliant. Loving all of their songs.
I just heard this song on the radio. 2 minutes later I was looking it up on TH-cam. Already love this band. Wow.
I cannot comprehend how a spoken vocal line can be so damn catchy. Does anyone else get bits of Dry Cleaning lyrics stuck in their head on repeat?
yeah definitely, the Tokyo, Oslo, Rio bouncy ball line has been stuck in my head all day.
Never talk about your ex
never, never, never, never, never slag them off
The dark droning ...the end is near...mixed with folly! Luv it! Have a nice day people!
Yes and for the rest of my life.
I’m smiling constantly and people constantly step on me
A world weary, slightly cynical middle aged man loves this. It makes me smile from ear to ear and even produces a little tear.
I found I had fallen in a hole of early 80's underground power metal - this is the rope that pulled me back to safety.
It's ok you can like both. Genuinely interested which metal bands they were?
i want to know too
Great deadpan vocal - c.f. early Jo Brand's stand up persona of "The Seamonster".
Come for the wonderful video; return endlessly for the ace lyrics and superb riffage
You " Don't Have 2 " Scratch Beneath The Surface " In Order To Appreciate The " Brilliance Of " Dry Cleaning " !! From Adrian Browne 1965
Saw them play this at Village Underground just before lockdown. Loved it then and Love it more now! This song is immense! Intelligence is back in music. Thank f**k!
Intelligent,Tokyo bouncing ball?
“I love these mighty oaks, don’t you ?
I don't know, I've just come here to make a ceramic shoe.
It's so Brighton, UK. It relates to an actual place...so fun 😁
Feel everything and do nothing.
Such a good lineeee
I do
Those dolls are having the time of their lives, hope to safely dance to Dry Cleaning live one day as well.
Just met my Talking Heads, ND nerve. I just need to be weird and hard for a while, I came here to learn to mingle. No words...its love. Thank you x
Thats the most original and refreshingly different song/film Ive watched in a long long time. Bravo. Oh and she looks like Bowie near the end.
yeah Bowie but also Sinead!
4AD delivering quality! Since early 80's! Thank you, obrigado!
“It’ll be ok I just need to be weird and hide for a bit and eat an old sandwich from my bag”
So glad i watched a Wet Leg video because now awesome shit is poppin up on my feed
Dry Cleaning are so much better, especially the first two EPs
I've heard the song loads and absolutely love it, but with the video it's another level of great!!
what a great band, i saw them on monday in the EKKO utrecht, really fantastic.
So delishously enchanting, i'm gonna have another slice...
The lyric - "Pat Dad on the head, alright you big loud mouth and thanks very much for that twix." Made me laugh out loud 🤣. Never heard a song from this band before but pretty cool ngl x
Heard this on 6 music, where else!!!!!
great video, and such a new refreshing sound-Brilliant
Theres a clever technique that's being used here. I noticed it listening to The Smiths where you've got a raw lead solid body guitar, then an acoustic playing broken open chords. It sounds really rhythmic
Yup, slightly hidden in the mix - in "Her Hippo" too. Really effective. + tambourine too.
best thing to come from 2020
I only found this band after hearing Florence on that new Sleaford mods track.fantastic stuff,she’s deadly. ✌️
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to Dry Cleaning
@@MassiveFish-hp4pm nice 1,I’ll get on it….check out Sid Roams-zombie musik ( rite back At ya bro) ✌️
me too!
A killer.
Sonic Youth when Kim Gordon sings but they've somehow merged Tim Keys essence into her.
good point well made
Pylon
hahahahahahah thats FAF they really did morph the two of them
First heard this song and this band about 13 hours ago on Sirius XMU. Finally got to watch some videos. This one made me feel like I was back in 1982 to 1985 watching the early days of MTV. Great stuff! Keep it coming!
Damn, just patting myself on the back for finally finding some "new" music that I like, and now you tell me it's old-fashioned so of course I do
came here sweeping the interwebs for inspiring videoclips ....i think im on the right path :D
you youngsters… some of you are actually rather talented. More please. :-)
thanks very much for the Twix! :)
They’ll be lots who won’t like this , but i think DC are just mind blowing. We so need this energy now .
Can’t imagine how anyone couldn‘t get addicted to this awesome work of art.
@@charlottelange3859 then you need to open your mind
one of my favourite songs of all time honestly
Cooool!!!!!!!
revived the alternative rock in 2021 !!!
The Best!!!
THIS ^^^^ is how to make a fucking music video! Inspired. Love this song too.
Dry Cleaning seems to remind everyone different things - which is a sign of an original band. To me they sound like the Pretenders in 1979-1980 and I absolutely mean this as a compliment
I'm truly obsessed with this band. Best sound I've heard since Joy Division in 1979!
I agree with everything you say.
I can hear a bit fall influences. Good band mind ya!
They're awesome, and yes, for sure there is a Mark E. Smith influence going on.
Pretenders..much?
@@membranepotential6944 yes Chrissie's ghost right there
I love the concept and the puppets dancing around!
Yes yes yes yes...” I’ve come to join a knitting circle” 😆🤍
What a wonderful line.
Clive Mortimore just love them.
