Florence + The Machine – Lungs (CD)
Product Details
Lungs arrived in 2009 and landed Florence Welch in the conversation alongside Kate Bush and PJ Harvey, artists who understood that rock and roll could be theatrical without losing its teeth. Welch's harp-driven, gospel-soaked sound felt genuinely sui generis at a moment when British pop was crowded with far safer bets, and the album's raw emotional intensity rewarded repeated listening in a way that set it apart from its contemporaries.
Florence Welch, an art-school dropout from South London, first gained fame at home with two bombastic singles; "Kiss with a Fist" and "Dog Days are Over". Her debut album is co-produced by Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Maximo Park), James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Last Shadow Puppets) and Steve Mackay (PULP, M.I.A), and has already amassed a hefty amount of critical acclaim in the UK. Live, Florence and the Machine becomes an entirely different beast. No two performances are ever alike, and clad i n clothes often culled from local second-hand shops that day, Florence goes at it like a woman possessed. As for the Machine, it's a flexible monster. Florence and the Machine will be making an appearance this Fall in the States, a show that you will not want to miss. On her debut album, LUNGS, Florence makes her way through 13-standout tracks including "Girl with One Eye," "Howl," "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)," "Hurricane Drunk," and many more.
