The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound


Florence & the Machine. BRILLIANT.
They are so unique. Florence Welch is such an amazing singer. Her style is perfect (she is the reason i dyed my hair red).
Reminiscent of Kate Bush with an indie twist, these songs are a sort of gothic fairytale with fantastic lyrics and beautiful music to which it is set if you love eccentric yet brilliant singer song writers. It is simply a joy to listen to. The tracks fly by but you remember every beat of them. `Dog Days are Over' is a brilliant start and following this with the most recent single adds a nice bit familiarity. Tracks like `Howl' and `Kiss with a Fist' are then great additions before the rhythmic genius of `Drumming Song'. It then gets a little more widescreen and epic in its sound with the combination of `Between Two Lungs' and `Cosmic Love'. It then relaxes down to a more intimate and personal sound for the final three tracks which round off the whole album nicely.
It is a well crafted album that exhibits the quality and diversity of this band and especially Florence's wonderful voice. I feel like I have now found Florence and I don't want to go back.
