The debut from Britain's much-fussed-over Florence + the Machine finally hits the States, and Lungs proves they're worth the adoration.
-
Because those pipes are big enough to shake the rain from the trees and, with an eclectic balance of genres leaning heavily towards folk and soul, she's got enough support to make her seem powerful rather than overbearing.
-
Florence's music is particularly sensitive to studio gloss; her singing is a fine balance between elegance and frenzy.
-
While the comparisons were apt at the time, 'Kiss with a Fist' turned out to be a red herring in the wake of the release of Lungs, one of the most musically mature and emotionally mesmerizing albums of 2009.
-
As it is, they're more than quite good, and all the better for the tracks that surround them.
-
Lungs is a cloud-headed introduction to Welch's world, where It Girl hype, coffins, violence, and ambition combust on impact; it's a platinum-shellacked demo reel drunk on its own hi-fi-ness.
-
These songs probably sound otherworldly when played live, but the over-laden stylization actually fills Lungs with unnecessary fat.
