Florence and the Machine

Alexthe4th · 11-29-2011, 09:55 AM

I'm really into the whole eighties revival thing, I'm a sucker for gated drums and reverb. I like what Florence is doing with that kind of vibe, in a somewhat more modern way. There is lots of this type of sound going on in the indie world but of course hers is much more polished.

^this. Exactly this.

I expect this group to produce magic for a good deal of time. She's not the best writer I've ever heard, but she knows what she's doing and I don't find myself wondering if it took her 30 seconds to write it.

This may sound like a low bar, but for me its the mark of an artist who takes their job seriously. I might <3 Florence. I might.

i just got Ceremonials and i like it better than the debut

the best songs are the strident, galloping songs

the moody ones aren't that good, though

Been enjoying Lungs recently. Non stop barrage of great songs. She has an amazing voice.

Her stuff is pretty hit-or-miss for me. But when it hits, boy does it hit.

Her stage moves are quite impressive aha

If you didn't check it out already the extended version has some great tracks.

Bird Song, is one of my favorite tracks from the entire album. It should have been on the regular release.

Got into this band not long ago. I've got their two first albums, but haven't heard the new one.

Good songs, good voice. Pretty much in line with a bunch of other things I'm listening to these days, so I'm not surprised I clicked with it.
