florence and the machine

Are there fans here on The Ledge? I really dig her album Lungs. I'm super exicted for her next one.

My best friend, Xiren, did a cover of Cosmic Love I thought I would share. Though I'm probably terribly biased as a lover of his music, I'm really LOVING his interpretation of her song. If you're a fan of the song and/or FATM, or even if you're not, I'm super curious what you think of Xiren's video. Like or not, tell it like it is. I know the majority of you are into music other than FM related, right or wrong? haha I know dammwell there is a post of WRONG! destined for this thread.

If you're not familiar with FATM, I offer you her website as well here is a link to her Cosmic Love video.

I really dig this video of FATM Kiss with a Fist. The song so reminds me of Lucille Ball and Ricky Ricardo!

Interesting... It was certainly produced and mixed well. It's not something I would normally listen to, though. I like the simple guitar lines. The guys voice reminds me of... a little bit of the lead singer from Keane and something else I can't place.

I've loved Florence + The Machine ever since I heard "Dog Days Are Over". I can't wait for the new album!

Sue me, but I also love their cover of The Chain.

^ Me too - I first hear Dog Days on the TV show Mercy & was like "omg, who the hell is THAT?!" A friend turned me onto them even more.

I didn't know they covered The Chain *runs to youtube*

I loved Florence this time, last year....I'm ready for some new material. Lungs has been overplayed in my apartment.

I think I said this the last time there was a Florence thread on here.. but oh well.
I was there when they covered The Chain at Glastonbury, and I bawled like a baby

She's brilliant.

I saw her in a ballroom this time last year. It was the most beautiful concert I'v ever been to.

I absolutely adore her. I've been patiently waiting for her to play somewhere near me...

I love her. "Kiss With a Fist" is my favorite but I love "Drumming", "Dog Days Are Over" and "You"ve Got the Love" a whole lot too. She's a fantastic performer, I pretty much realized i loved her when she was on SNL. So glad for that!

That outfit is a love child of Stevie and Tina Turner. And those heels? Forgetaboutit.

I really liked Lungs, and the alternate version of I'm Not Calling You A Liar that was Dragon Age 2's credits theme.

Mmmmmmm so good.

This band rocks my world. Florence's voice is, to me, the best thing to come around in a while. And Lungs is one of my top albums of the past decade.....so go Flo
