The first studio album from London's Florence + the Machine, 'Lungs' was originally released in 2009. It's a bold debut that blends rock with soul and baroque pop. Florence Welch's vocals are truly remarkable. In singles like 'Dog Days Are Over', 'You've Got The Love', 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)', 'Cosmic Love', and 'Kiss With A Fist', her singing is raw, full of emotion, and easy to connect with. The lush, string - filled instrumentation perfectly matches her voice and unique melodies. Influences from Joanna Newsom, Kate Bush, Fiona Apple, etc., can be felt. The vinyl comes with a gatefold sleeve, a printed cardboard inner sleeve, and is from the IAmSound Records in 2009. Reviewed by Thom Tanks in 07/2017.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your record player. Make sure the player is set up properly and the stylus is in good condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Store the vinyl upright in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. After each use, gently clean the vinyl with a record brush to keep it in good shape. Don't expose it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can damage the vinyl and affect the sound quality.
