Lungs
by Florence and the Machine
Big, bold, and baroque, Florence + The Machine's debut album thrives on drama. Built around the effortless sweep of Florence Welch's voice, and the delicate trills of the harp, it proudly lays its emotions bare, barreling between suffocating lust on “Drumming Song,” debilitating fear on “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up),” and the pain of heartbreak on the breathless “Cosmic Love."
Track List 1) Dog Days Are Over 2) Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) 3) I'm Not Calling You a Liar 4) Howl 5) Kiss With a Fist 6) Girl With One Eye 7) Drumming Song 8) Between Two Lungs 9) Cosmic Love 10) My Boy Builds Coffins 11) Hurrican Drunk 12) Blinding 13) You've Got the Love
