Dry Cleaning – “Let Me Grow and You’ll See the Fruit”

Directed by Cuan Roche

Florence Shaw is an architect in the art of reigning in a stream of conscious, which makes “Let Me Grow and You’ll See The Fruit” — latest preview from Dry Cleaning’s new album, Secret Love — all the more impressive when you consider its a spiral of intrusive thoughts. We’re caught right between the neural receptors of the brain of the South London band, stimming from every distraction while contending with her own sudden detours in outside observation and self-negging, from “no one coming along with a video call or a survey or a dick pic or a loud bang” to her own longing of a friend to tell her secrets to, getting tied up in an intricate folk-twixt spindle on post-punk in the acoustic form. Then again, if that person existed, we might not have this listen. Selfishly, we’ll take her as the “shell fallen down and dead, curled, like a heavy, downy baby goose” any day of the week.

Dry Cleaning’s Secret Love will be released January 9th on 4AD.
