Album Description

Lungs —en español: Pulmones— es el álbum debut del grupo británico de indie pop, Florence and the Machine, lanzado el 6 de julio de 2009 por Island Records. El álbum debutó en el número dos en el UK Albums Chart, donde se mantuvo por cinco semanas después de su lanzamiento. El 10 de enero de 2010 volvió a las listas de popularidad inglesas posicionándose en el número dos durante seis semanas. La siguiente semana alcanzó su posición máxima en el número uno donde permaneció durante dos semanas consecutivas. Desde entonces permaneció durante sesenta y cinco semanas consecutivas en el top 40. También alcanzó la posición número dos, donde se matuvo seis semanas en el Irish Albums Chart. Lungs ha recibido generalmente críticas favorables por parte de los críticos de música. Adicionalmente, el álbum ganó el premio Mejor álbum británico en los Brit Awards de 2009.
User Album Review
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock since the beginning of the year, you’ll be aware of Florence and the Machine. Before even releasing an album, the first lady and her revolving band have been championed by BBC Introducing, invited to play Glastonbury and support Blur at Hyde Park, and won the Critic's Choice Award at this year’s BRITs. Now they're being tipped for Mercury Prize glory. How can an album possibly live up to the pressure of all that expectation? I don't quite know… but it does by the gallon.
Florence Welch's distinctive voice intertwines beautifully with harps, strings and drums as she sings her inimitable 'soul inspired indie' and 'Tim Burton-style fairytales'. The gothic pop of Lungs has been excellently produced by a crack team - Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Jack Penate, Maximo Park), James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Klaxons, Last Shadow Puppets) and Steve Mackey (Pulp, M.I.A.).
There's so much brilliant stuff it's difficult to know where to begin. The soaring crescendo of new single Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up), the achingly beautiful Howl and a breathtaking cover of The Source classic You Got The Love. Drumming is a fabulous nail-on-the-head song about what it feels like to be in love.
There are touches of Mama Cass on happy clappy debut single Dogs Days Are Over and at the other end of the energy scale, the twinkly loveliness of Hurricane Drunk. The low points are few – perhaps that I'm Not Calling You A Liar falls a bit flat between choruses, and the lyrics to Girl With One Eye are closer to disturbing than kooky. But mostly it's sheer gleeful bliss listening to Lungs.
Florence says music is, ''at best a kind of magic that lifts you up and takes you somewhere else''. With vocals building from breathy almost-nothings to soaring, arching crescendos and the accompanying harps, strings, hopes and dreams, this album takes you somewhere you'll never want to come back from. When news gets out that she writes her best stuff, ''when drunk or hungover'', Florence's transition from unknown to British classic will be complete.
