Florence and The Machine - Ceremonials (2011)




Florence Welsch's second album is a piece of art. It has not the "hits on first hear" compilation format anymore, however, it is now more consistent and straightforwarded to the land of the inner of your head. I totally understand "The Machine" in it now. The music is more minimalistic, repetetive and urgent, it's a steam engine. There's more chorals than on "Lungs" and that is awesome - it makes every song a grower worth discovering. There's strong lyrics ("What The Water Gave Me", "Leave My Body"), Nr. 1 hit single ("Shake It Out"), trendy and Adele-friendly back-to-black-roots music ("Lover To Lover") and chorus you will be singing for yourself all day long ("Spectrum", "No Light, No Light"). Love it!



(Btw. A contest: Watch the attached video and tell me what Killers' song can you recognize in it...)
