Dry Cleaning: Anyone can do music, but not everyone believes they can do music

“I think anyone can do music, but not everyone believes they can do music. When you feel like you are emboldened or confident enough to do it, you just do it and don’t think about why” - says Nick Buxton, the drummer of the London post-punk band Dry Cleaning, in a Pitchfork interview. Florence Shaw, the vocalist in the band ("singer" would be really stretching it), adds that “the thing about Dry Cleaning is that it’s only space, so you don’t have to worry about someone mishearing it or there not being a gap for you”.
