Music Monday: Florence + the Machine

This is going to be short and to the point: Florence + the Machine is awesome. If you do not own Lungs...where have you been? And if you have not picked up the new album Ceremonials that came out Nov. 1st you need to put that on your to do list for the day. Florence's songs are full of grand orchestrations, yet can be simple at the same time. She knows how to build songs SO WELL like on her first single from the new album "What the Water Gave Me." If there is an artist whose music was meant for dance productions on a stage fit for a permanent Cirque show, it would be her. Yet, if you have ever watched her perform, you know that just 2 instruments and her behind a mic can have the same impact...it is pretty amazing. The songs I am really enjoying right now are "Lover to Lover," "Breaking Down" and "Shake it Up." So in short, go buy this album (deluxe edition preferred) and enjoy.

 By far, this was the best part of the Grammys this year feat. Florence.
