Florence Shaw of the group Dry Cleaning is a very different kind of rock star

Transcript¹

What is a nascent² band to do, when the person decided³ on to be the singer doesn't seem interested in singing – or even, really, being at the front of the stage? For the British band Dry Cleaning, whose second studio album Stumpwork was recently released, timing⁴ and persistence⁵ were key.

"I was experiencing a bit of turmoil⁶, just in my personal life generally at the time, and I think that was really the thing that pushed me to try it," says vocalist Florence Shaw, whose droll⁷ poetics and magnetic voice are cornerstones for the band. Once convinced, she found herself sucked in. "I think it's nice to be listened to," she tells Morning Edition's Rachel Martin with a laugh. "I thought like 'Wow, you can just say anything into this thing' ... there's something powerful about that."

Shaw spoke⁸ to NPR about Stumpwork, going behind the scenes of her kaleidoscopic⁹ lyrical approach, dealing¹⁰ with criticism and, at last, what it was like to sing a melody here and there.
