There are times when the deadpan sprechgesang vocals\u00a0of Florence Shaw just don&#8217;t do anything for me, but when I&#8217;m looking to zone out, I can appreciate the vibe. But on the latest album, <em>Secret Love<\/em>, Shaw has started <em>singing<\/em>\u2014or at least, her voice now does this thing where it occasionally remembers that vocal melodies exist, like someone waking up mid-dream and deciding to stay there. She attempted this on <em>Stumpwork<\/em>, but it&#8217;s an even stranger vibe on <em>Secret Love<\/em>&#8216;s opener &#8220;Hit My Head All Day,&#8221; and she occasionally falsettos in the track &#8220;Secret Love (Concealed in a Drawing of a Boy).&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Now there are these moments where her voice curves upward, finds a note, and holds it, as the band really freaks out; angular guitar lines, driving bass, and drunken drum crashes. Shaw popping in for a small vocal line is like watching someone shrug in slow motion. Another way to think of it, her vocal still sounds like she&#8217;s reading fragments from a diary she found in a charity shop\u2014detached, bemused, faintly ironic\u2014but now occasionally she&#8217;ll land on something else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The album exists in that uncanny space between speaking and singing, between caring and not caring, between the banal and the profound. It may be their most accessible to listeners new to the Dry Cleaning world. Shaw&#8217;s voice\u2014now occasionally, tentatively melodic\u2014makes the whole thing feel like reality tilting slightly sideways. Post-punk is learning to hum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Secret Love\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/79o6ZvFsXaAkL9MHCE6ts4?si=KCJspWozSaa7hjCMuaI-5g&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve started reserving special listening times for Dry Cleaning.
