A guide to BULLYACHE’s Dry Cleaning visuals
BULLYACHE’s work across Dry Cleaning’s ‘Secret Love’ campaign spans a visualiser, Lewis Maynard’s dance routine and the “laundry-noir” images for ‘Sliced by a Fingernail’.
Dry Cleaning are an English post-punk band formed in South London in 2017. The band consists of vocalist Florence Shaw, guitarist Tom Dowse, bassist Lewis Maynard, and drummer Nick Buxton. They are known for their use of spoken word vocals and unconventional lyrics. Their musical style has been compared to bands such as Wire, Magazine, and Joy Division. The band released two EPs before their debut album, New Long Leg, in April 2021. This was followed by Stumpwork in October 2022 and Secret Love in January 2026.

Cate Le Bon helped Dry Cleaning open up ‘Secret Love’ without sanding down the oddness that has always made the band distinct.
Released in 2023, ‘Swampy’ is a five-track companion to ‘Stumpwork’, collecting two session outtakes, a ‘Peanuts’ demo and remixes by Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul and Nourished By Time.
