Florence and the Machine, Ceremonials

When Florence and the Machine’s debut album Lungs burst onto the scene in the summer of 2009 it was met with huge critical fanfare and commercial success. The album’s gritty sound was an unexpected mix of rock, pop, soul and indie that blazed a trail into the top 10 album chart and the hearts of many music lovers. Written whilst in mourning for the break-down of her relationship, Florence and the Machine’s second CD Ceremonials picks up where Lungs left off. Coupling haunting melodies with front-woman Florence Welch’s soaring vocals to create enigmatic tracks such as the hit singles What the Water Gave Me and Shake It Out, Ceremonials manages to captures the heart and soul of Lungs and improve further still.
