London post-punk group. Florence Shaw's spoken-word delivery is one of the most distinctive voices in British indie — flat, precise, building meaning through accumulation rather than emphasis. Explores visibility and anonymity — the discomfort of being seen, the desire to disappear — with surreal imagery and quiet instrumentation. Opens the final double-header with Lambrini Girls.

Facts:
Florence Shaw was recruited as vocalist in 2018 after the other members recorded her speaking over their instrumentals during a rehearsal — she had no prior singing/performing background, working as a visual artist and lecturer at the time.
Shaw's lyrics are built from overheard speech, found text, and stream-of-consciousness notes rather than conventional songwriting.
