2009 debut album from the hotly tipped UK outfit fonted by Florence Welch. Lungs, produced by Paul Epworth, James Ford and Steve Mackay, is an intoxicating mix of delicate fragility, dark humor and twisted Tim Burton style fairy-tales.
The band's most forceful and focused songs yet. They recorded most of the songs on the 10-song album on the first take, capturing the band's raw and frenetic onstage energy.
Welch's singing throughout is extraordinary, shifting gears effortlessly from melancholic softness to high-powered exultation, even ululation. Every gasp, growl and fluttery trill seems perfectly placed.
Lungs received generally positive reviews from music critics, with comparisons to the likes of Kate Bush and Fiona Apple. Lungs reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart and #14 on the US Billboard 200, selling over three million copies worldwide.
Considered a narrative-driven concept album, "The Everglow" seamlessly blends piano-driven melodies, soaring guitar work, and emotionally charged lyrics.
