Artist Spotlight #2: Florence + the Machine


 FLORENCE + THE MACHINE! I could obsess all day over this band. I worship Florence Welch. Like, actually. Check out the links at the bottom ... You don't want to miss this stuff! :)

About: Florence Welch was discovered singing in a nightclub bathroom, drunk––which proves that great talent can be found in the most unexpected places. She is now the lead singer of Florence + the Machine, a band in which she is the only constant member. The band formed in London in 2007, and their sound is usually defined as soul-inspired indie rock. Florence was inspired by The White Stripes and Kate Bush when she was growing up. Her intentions are to write metaphorical songs that are "stories with consequences and weird morality issues." The band's debut album, Lungs, was released in 2009 and reached #1 in the UK's album charts in January 2010.
