07:19She released an ep in October
07:21That's been doing really, really big things
07:22Please, can you give her a very typically warm Dingle welcome?
07:26This is Jessie Blakemore.
07:32I thought I was real enough
07:42Don't know why I defended us
07:50You've got secrets, I've got seizures
07:53Underneath your eyelids
07:55Closer than I've been
07:58Leaving me with nothing
08:00To tell your love to breathe
08:02I'll pretend I don't know
08:05What happens or you scream

10:19Wishing I could treat you like nobody can need you
10:24Thank you
10:31Thank you so much
10:41Jessie Batemore, how do you describe what you make?
10:43I always say it's kind of like alt R&B
10:46That's kind of maybe indie leaning, kind of folk leaning
10:49I mean you're a gorgeous guitar player
10:51So when did you first pick up a guitar?
10:53When I was quite young
10:54So my dad has played guitars around me since I was a kid
10:57I always had that around me
10:59I got really shy about performing
11:01So I kind of stopped for a couple of years
11:02And then when I was maybe like 15, 16
11:05I started to think, oh actually I really enjoy this
11:07So let me just throw myself into it
11:08And were you writing songs then as well?
11:10Yeah I was
11:11I mean they're probably pretty bad songs
11:13But yeah just always writing
11:15I used to love like poetry too
11:17So just always writing stuff, writing my thoughts down
11:19And was there a moment when you did perform
11:23Where you kind of felt like
11:26Okay this could be something
11:28Yeah I mean it's weird
11:29Because I think a lot of it has been online
11:31So like so kind of performing to my phone
11:34Which is kind of weird
11:35And there were a couple of videos I posted a while back
11:37That got a bit of attention
11:38And I was like okay this actually feels good
11:40This could be something
11:41Maybe we gave it too many chances
11:45Fuck it
11:46What's one more?
11:52And I could give a fuck
11:55If your boyfriend's waiting at home
11:59Home
12:00I miss the way you made me feel
12:05Come and visit that thought
12:08Let the apathy build
12:11I miss the way you made me feel
12:16Come and visit that thought
12:19Let the apathy build
12:22And cool me from your bottom
12:25Bottom night

14:01Ears fill the heat when our conversation's done

22:22You just got nothing better to do
22:24So you hang around piling up people who want to get high
22:28In the afternoon, the days at the open clock
22:32You always doing nothing
22:35Special ain't nothing better to do
22:37You always doing nothing
22:40Special ain't nothing better to do
22:48You've been waiting on the wrong side of life
22:50Finding too much, enjoying it for sure and strive
22:53Hugging out your thoughts onto the internet
22:55You've been bought so long
22:57You've started to forget that it's fun
22:59It's a lot in your right hand
23:01And you can make God laugh if you tell him your plans
23:04I was running and complaining
23:06That's why it sucks shit cracking the blood
23:09You always doing nothing
23:11That's just a way nothing better to do
23:14You always doing nothing
23:17That's just a way nothing better to do
23:19Getting high in the afternoon
23:22Spending money you ain't got
23:24Now I'm going to complain
23:27That's just a way that sucks shit breaking the blood
23:29That's just a way that sucks shit cracking the blood
23:35I say you want to come out tonight
23:40For what?
23:43Cheap talk and expensive kinds
23:45For what?
23:48For what?
23:50For what?
23:53For what?
23:53For what?
23:55You're always running and complaining
23:57That's why it's such shit right at the pub
24:01You're always running and complaining
24:03That's why it's such shit right at the pub
24:05You're always doing nothing
24:09That's why it's such shit right at the pub
24:11You're always doing nothing
24:14That's why it's such shit right at the pub
24:16You're always running and complaining
24:17You're getting high in the afternoon
24:18You say it's stupid like a million
24:21Now it's going to be clear
24:24That's why it's such shit right at the pub
24:40You guys, both in the way you talk in interviews
24:43And the way you write music
24:44Have like spoken a lot about
24:46The omnipresence of hypocrisy and cowardice around the world
24:50So in that context let's talk about Cutthroat
24:53Which is such a banger of an album
24:55It's restored some of the fight in me for sure
24:58And I was feeling a bit lethargic
25:00I'm glad
25:00So will you talk to me about the approach to Cutthroat
25:03And your wonderful producer
25:05I mean I think John Congleton
25:08Who's the producer in the record
25:09Really steered the ship
25:10I think in the studio
25:13When we were kind of shaping it
25:15It was all quite excessive I think
25:18You know like with the title track Cutthroat
25:20We were just like let's go all the way
25:22Or Lampiao
25:23You know let's go sort of all the way with that
25:26You know where it's sort of with the Brazilian Portuguese
25:29And then with the electronic side
25:31It was all a big combination
25:32But yeah I mean Sean you know did a lot of the writing so
25:36Yeah I think it's funny I find
25:38Especially with our process
25:39We usually have a thing where
25:40We think about things too much
25:43For about a six, seven month period
25:45And we kind of don't get anything
25:47I'm sure you've experienced this yourself you know
25:49And we kind of we don't do it
25:51We don't do anything
25:53Everyone's miserable
25:54Nothing good's coming
25:54And then we kind of
25:55You know especially when John came in
25:57I think his ethos is very much
25:59I think we need this a lot
26:00Which is someone to kind of make decisions
26:02Because I think we're so democratic
26:04And there's five of us
26:05That it can quite quickly grind to a halt
26:07And so he kind of came
26:08Democracy's overrated
26:09It is it is
26:10It is it is overrated
26:12Yeah
26:12And he kind of just came in
26:14And you know I think he just really pushed us
26:16To just not think about it
26:17And just write songs and finish songs
26:19And that's kind of you know
26:21So it feels like the album took a year and a bit to make
26:24But really it was probably like a three month period
26:26Where it just kind of
26:27We were just like
26:28For fuck's sake let's just stop
26:29Overthinking all this
26:31And we just kind of got it done really quick
26:32But it was a really nice kind of cozy
26:35Album experience
26:36And it was really there was no stress
26:37There was no fighting
26:38It was the most easy album we've ever recorded I think
26:41I call the Maria Bonita
26:45Levanta by Fazer Café
26:56Well let me tell you a little story
26:59About a big bad motherfucker called Lampiao
27:02The governor of the backlands
27:04Sailor from the black sands
27:06With a pillar knife and a strong hand
27:09He copped out a lot most won't ever understand
27:11And if you want a guy looking for him
27:14You can still hear his name
27:15Once he's through the northeastern terrains of Brazil
27:19Olympia
27:20Where are you now?
27:25Olympia
27:26Where are you now?
27:37Olympia
27:38Where are you now?
27:53Olympia
27:54Where are you now?
27:59Olympia
28:00Where are you now?
28:04Olympia
28:05Chicago
28:05I call the maritime
28:06Mar clubs
28:07The man took like myself
28:22Well, they caught him in the end, executed him as love and his kangaseros.
28:27They let their heads hang for public display on the streets of Salvador.
28:31And long will his name remain in the storage of football.
28:34And in that place where the water runs white,
28:36Some say it's gunshots but it's still lighting up the night.
28:42All of you out, where are you now?
29:27Come on, motherfucker! Come on, baby!
29:33Come on, baby!
29:37Let's see some shots inside.
30:08Let's see some shots!
30:32Thank you for having us.
30:33This is our last song.
30:35Cheers.
30:55Well, my nails ain't not a car, and my voice ain't the best you've heard, and you can
31:03use that ain't my word, but you might give a fuck.
31:09Socks and wool, shoes I've worn, along the side keeps it filled with smoke.
31:17What if something you're not going for, but I'm still breathing?
31:22Well, I'm not want to look at, and I ain't want to hear.
31:30What if you think I love you?
31:33You got me what I tell.
31:36Well, I'm not want to look at, and I ain't want to hear.
31:43What if you think I love you?
31:48You got me what I tell.
31:52You got me what I tell.
32:06You're guaranteed.
32:08You're sleeping bags.
32:09And not your girl, let's go behind it back
32:13And I'd rather be forced inside
32:16And I said, stop
32:20Your life's fine if you get what you need
32:23And you're confused and locked with friends
32:27And I won't, I won't save you
32:31At least not yet
32:33And I'm not watching a guy
32:38I ain't lost again
32:40But if you think I love you
32:45You've got to run again
32:48When I'm not watching a guy
32:52And I ain't lost again
32:55But if you think I love you
32:59You've got to run again
33:03And you're a bridge of conflict
33:07And you're a bridge of conflict
33:10And you're a bridge of conflict
33:13Just let go
33:14Just let go
33:17And you're a bridge of conflict
33:21And you're a bridge of conflict
33:24And you're a bridge of conflict
33:26Just let go, just let go
34:02Thank you very much, single!
34:08Now, let's all get shot.
34:11Thank you very fucking much. Cheers.
34:30So, my next song is a cover, it's one of my favorite songs, it's called X Factor by Lauren Hill.
34:36Whoa! Yeah, I love it so much. So if you know the words, please sing, sing with me.
34:57It could all be so simple
35:05But you'd rather make it hard
35:11See, love to you is like a battle
35:19And we both end up with scars
35:24Tell me who I have to be
35:31To get some rest
35:35I'll pass her to you
35:39See, no one loves you
35:42More than me
35:46No one ever will
35:53Is this just a silly game
36:00That forces you to act this way
36:08That forces you to scream my name
36:15And pretend like you can't stay
36:22See, I know what we've got to do
36:28You let go
36:32See, no one's hurt me
36:39More than you
36:43And no one ever will
36:47No matter how I think we grow
36:51You always seem to let me know
36:55It ain't working
36:58It ain't working
37:01It ain't working
37:01It ain't working
37:02And when I try
37:04To walk away
37:05You urge yourself to make me stay
37:09This is crazy
37:17Care for me, care for me
37:20Said that you're there for me
37:23Said you would cry for me
37:26But would you live for me
37:32Care for me, care for me
37:34Said that you're there for me
37:36There for me, there for me
37:38Said you would cry for me
37:41But would you live for me
37:43Would you live for me
37:47Would you live for me
38:09Would you live for me?
38:13Thank you so much.
44:16Tom and Lewis, have you spotted any wild animals this morning so far?
44:20Just in a hybrid of a duck and a seal.
44:21I reckon two ducks, actually.
44:23We don't have much wildlife where we live.
44:24Where do you live?
44:25Because you formed in South London.
44:27You actually formed there as well.
44:28Yeah.
44:28I grew up around there.
44:30You grew up around the corner.
44:31That is a seal, seriously.
44:32You reckon?
44:33No, it's not really.
44:34Take us back to the origins then of dry cleaning.
44:38Were you all friends?
44:39I imagine you all grew up in nursery together.
44:42You were all mates since birth.
44:43That's when the band started, wasn't it?
44:44Like rug rats.
44:46So I met Flo at art college and she introduced me to my partner who was friends with Lewis
44:54and Nick.
44:56And so we just started hanging out as a social group, really.
44:59Probably for about three or four years before we even talked about doing a band.
45:02I feel like there was a moment where we was all in lots of different projects.
45:06And there was a moment where we were all freed up.
45:08We had free time.
45:09Yeah, they're all sort of ending naturally.
45:10At the same time.
45:11So it was like, let's just have a jam, the three of us.
45:13So he used to go for Sundays over at his mum's, in his mum's garage.
45:16And she'd cook us a Sunday dinner.
45:18We did like 10 minutes of playing and about four hours of eating.
45:21Yeah.
45:22And then eventually your mum started going, are you going to do any work today?
45:25Yeah.
45:26So that's when we took it seriously.
45:27Yeah.
45:29Florence's lyrics are sometimes hilarious, sometimes deeply, deeply intriguing.
45:35When do you hear Florence's lyrics for the first time in the band?
45:40It varies a lot.
45:41So it depends on kind of the room we're rehearsing in.
45:43A lot of times we're in a room where we can't really hear much, right?
45:46It's like a really small room.
45:48So Flo might just have some in-ears in and be hearing herself.
45:51And then now again we're projecting to the room.
45:53But you can only hear like rhythms and kind of like slight melodies and kind of, and you
45:57play against that.
45:58So a lot of times it's not to the studio.
45:59But it kind of varies record by record and song by song.
46:01Sometimes you get it really early.
46:03Sometimes you don't get it until you've recorded it.
46:06Yeah.
46:07And when it comes to playing live then, I'm guessing there's no room for like lyrical
46:13improvisation from Florence, is there?
46:15It depends.
46:16When we sort of do like a headline tour, it does open up a bit more because you sort
46:21of get a chance to sort of know where you're at with songs.
46:25Songs naturally sort of stretch.
46:27Because when you record a song, it's still quite early in the song's life.
46:30Yeah.
46:31So you get, when you play it live, it comes back to life again.
46:34It has a whole other life as a live song, not a recorded one.
46:37So there is room for improvisation.
46:39Yeah.
46:45I'm a cruise ship designer.
46:52I'm striking while the army's fought.
46:56I'm hoping the most of a bad situation.
46:58Cruises of me business.
47:00I don't personally love them.
47:02But I mean to serve a useful purpose.
47:06I desire very much a place in society.
47:11So designing cruise ships is my custom.
47:13I'm my living.
47:15I'm my challenge.
47:17Designing cruises is really a bridge.
47:21I'm a lesson.
47:22You need to feel all fine.
47:27It's a little bit of the time.
47:29Cruise ship is on here.
47:31I'm striking while the iron is hot.
47:34I can hold the iron at once.
47:36I don't know the most of a bad situation.
47:38It's a marble run.
47:42A marble run.
47:44And I design the doors.
47:47They've closed control, let's see.
47:51But I'm a semi-anoniverse.
47:54The land ladders.
47:56I'm talking about vicious man.
47:58I believe in design.
48:03I am a semi-anoniverse.
48:09But I'm a semi-anoniverse.
48:17I don't know the most of a bad situation.
48:18I feel like I'm a semi-anoniverse.
48:19I am a semi-anoniverse.
48:20I'm striking while the iron is hot.
48:23It's a big voice.
48:25Striking while the iron is hot.
48:27Oh, my God's situation is a fucking fuck, but probably mine.
48:54I'm sure that he's just a moment to make.
49:08We'll be here next week, same time, same place, with music from Chalk, Miles Kane, Annie Dogg, and Travi. See
49:16you then.
