    Buenisimo, evolucionó para un buen lugar la banda, siento este disco mas apagado que los demas, los temas no tienen lo pegadizo de "Stumpwork" pero resuenan gracias a los riffs (excelentes como siempre) y las atmosferas que generan. 8,5/10

    • Root Genre: Rock
    • Primary Branch: Post-Punk; Art Rock
    • Secondary Influences: Indie rock minimalism, spoken-word performance art, 80s UK post-punk**
    • Textural Identity: Dry, wiry, skeletal; clean but tense guitar lines; detached vocal delivery; negative space as structure
    • Energy Axis: Medium-low physical intensity, high cerebral tension; restrained but rhythmically driving

    Dry Cleaning’s core move is still that deadpan, hyper-observational vocal presence over tightly controlled, rhythmic band playing—but Secret Love is often described as a step more expansive and emotionally integrated than the earlier “pure” post-punk framing: more color in the arrangements, more shape in the hooks/choruses in places, and a producer fingerprint that nudges them further into art-rock weird-pop without sanding off the band’s bite.

    Post-punk. Fedt. Også lidt kedeligt. Lidt flat og udynamisk. Meget skyldes sikkert vokalen - og leveringen er super god, men det bliver bare lidt kedeligt i længden. Meget det samme hele vejen igennem.

    O álbum mais consistente e com ares de novidade devido à produção da Cate Le Bon que lhes alargou o espectro sonoro (apesar da guitarra envinagrada continuar a ser o centro) assimilando estilos/técnicas funk, pop, auto-tune (no único tema que não tem guitarra), drones e até folk. Ao terceiro álbum soltaram-se um pouco das amarras pós-punk e até a vocalista, ou melhor, a letrista Florence Shaw, arrisca mais vezes a trocar a fala entediada por um cantarolar tímido mas ainda assim eficaz (a fazer lembrar a Alison Statton dos Young Marble Giants). Temas em destaque: "Hit my head all day", "Secret Love" e "Let me Grow and You'll see the fruit".
