New Groups Debut CD
Lungs, the debut album by Florence and the Machine is a mix of soul, rock and indie music. It has received numerous five star reviews and one that that truly attracted me to the group was the amazing album cover.
“Dog Days are Over,” the albums opening track showcases the bands talents with a gentle sounds of soft vocals and harp tones. It leads into a thunderous crescendo and then cuts into a timid piano piece. It is a great way for the band to introduce themselves and their talents to the listeners and encourages people to look closely at the album as a whole.
Florence Welch really seems to know her stuff from dark and sullen to cosmic and exciting, she is an outstanding singer and songwriter. She even included a track entitled “Drumming Song” which has a more familiar retro sound, for those who prefer that music type.
This album is more towards the pop genre with its electric mixes. Two songs, that I feel will be the best for the year are “Rabbit Heart” and Hurricane Drunk”. If you are expected Lungs to be the one and only album for this band you will be completely mistaken. The musical talents of Florence & The Machine are non comparable to any new group of today and I predict another album release next year.
This band will pick up a fan base quickly and will have a long and successful career in the music industry. Lungs is an incredible album and one well worth purchasing if you enjoy music that is fresh and exciting. You wont be disappointed!
