Guitarist Tom Dowse, drummer Nick Buxton, and bassist Lewis Maynard had been friends and musical collaborators for years, and invited mutual friend Florence Shaw – a visual artist, picture researcher and drawing lecturer – to join the band in 2017. With clear musical influences from the Feelies, the Necessaries, the B52s and Pylon, and constrained by the small garage space theyrehearsed in, Dry Cleaning were drawn to making simple music; direct and uncomplicated, anything superfluous was left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note - the cassette is just one of the EPs but it has a bonus track.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy March 2018 the group had recorded the six-track debut EP \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSweet Princess\u003c\/em\u003e with producer Kristian Craig Robinson at Total Refreshment Centre in a single day. Two months later, in May 2018, the band played their first live show in Dalston at the Shacklewell Arms, and released the EP in August. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSweet Princess\u003c\/em\u003e was a thrilling debut, its dizzying and restless instrumentals with Shaw’s sardonic vocals delivering a satirical collage of witty observations and social commentary. A further 6 songs in the form of the \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoundary Road Snacks\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e and Drinks\u003c\/em\u003e EP quickly followed two months after. It was named in tribute to the band’s rehearsal space in Maynard’s family’s south London (Sidcup) home, and to his mother Susan whose home-cooked meals sustained the four friends in between sessions. With singles like ‘Sit Down Meal’ and ‘Viking Hair’, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoundary Road Snacks and Drinks\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful companion to \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSweet Princess\u003c\/em\u003e. They share a similar pent-up energy, unsurprising given they came to life in the same environment those EPs were created in, an environment that had a huge influence on the band during those formative years.\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoundary Road Snacks and Drinks:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDog Proposal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eViking Hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpoils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJam After School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSombre One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSit Down Meal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 300;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrong Feelings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57109343895935,"sku":"4AD0571tape","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2825\/4773\/files\/Dry-Cleaning-Boundary-Road-Snacks-and-Drinks-Cassette.jpg?v=1780512235","url":"https:\/\/vinilo.co.uk\/products\/dry-cleaning-boundary-road-snacks-and-drinks-sweet-princess-ep-copy","provider":"Vinilo Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
