Florence and The Machine: Lungs

exclusive: signed by the artist!!!! florence and the machine have been tipped for greatness by everyone and finally she drops her debut album on island. the album is a kaleidoscopic insight into the mind of a 23 year old eccentric. 'lungs' was produced by paul epworth (bloc party, maximo park et al), simian mobile disco's james ford (arctic monkeys, klaxons, last shadow puppets) and steve mackay (pulp, m.i.a.) - it's sound is big, bold and polished. standouts are the pj harvey inspired skeletal blues stomp of 2008 single 'kiss with a fist' to the joyful and exuberant kate bush esque 'rabbit heart (raise it up)'. it's an inventive record that bristles with energy and passion. florence welch is a thoroughly modern pop star for 2009.

Florence and The Machine - Lungs

Review by Ed Miller

Now, with a Glastonbury performance best described as ‘defining’, it appears that Florence will be as unstoppable as her machine.»
