Album Description
Available in:
Lungs ("Polmoni" in italiano) è l'album di debutto della band britannica indie rock Florence and the Machine, pubblicato il 6 luglio 2009 dall'etichetta Island Records. Il 18 luglio 2009 ha fatto la sua prima apparizione nella UK Albums Chart direttamente alla posizione numero 2, che ha mantenuto per cinque settimane consecutive, senza aver modo di bissare il primato della compilation The Essential Michael Jackson. Dopo circa trenta settimane di permanenza nella classifica, l'album è tornato alla posizione iniziale e il 23 gennaio 2010 ne ha raggiunto la vetta per due settimane consecutive. Lungs ha inoltre ottenuto un notevole successo in Irlanda, nella cui classifica nazionale ha occupato la seconda posizione per ben cinque settimane consecutive.
È stato uno degli album contendenti al Mercury Prize 2009 ed ha ottenuto il Premio Mastercard British Album il 16 febbraio 2010, in occasione dei BRIT Awards 2010.
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.
