Go with the Flo

My intro to Florence and the Machine was a mere week ago when a friend of mine sent me this video and said
"WATCH THIS."

The first thought that struck me, besides her amazing, booming voice, was her very Stevie Nicks-esque way she twirled and danced on stage.



Fitting, as from what I've read about her, she has dabbled in witchcraft herself.

I'm not normally a big fan of chick rock, although I actually did obsess about Stevie Nicks just a tad when I was a teen...but Florence Welch is a breed unto herself, I think. She can go from being very PJ Harvey, as in the song "I'm Not Calling You a Liar", and, in my opinion, sound almost Grace Slick-ish in what is my anthem of the hour, "Cosmic Love".

The song "Between Two Lungs" has a sweet, almost 60's sound to it, which is definitely not my thing, yet I find myself listening to it on repeat, feeling like a teenage girl who's locked herself in her room to fantasize about her hunky high school crush.
