Album of the Week: Florence + The Machine – Everybody Scream

We’ve been ‘Florence’ fans ever since of her tracks randomly and majestically erupted forth from Google Play Music about ten years ago. We’re prudes but the original album cover of this one is slightly off putting, however that’s the only thing about this new album that is. Its great to be served up with another collection of melodramatic melodic treats like this. Pitchfork describe it well as ‘arena-pop baroque’ (although their score is far too low!). Compositionally strong, the production and Florence’s voice are still well on form. We look forward to a bombastic (although sometimes tender) week with this album.

Album of the Week: Florence & The Machine – Dance Fever

This album is another tour de force from Florence Welch, a masterpiece of performance and songwriting, a talent for “rock-pop anthems that bristle with a kind of modern classicism” according to The Times. Can’t wait to explore its tracklist this week.

Tracks of the Year

Whew, we made it through. As mentioned earlier it was devilishly hard choosing these Top 40 tracks of the year. We tried to pick ones that have had longevity and that we think will stick around for years to come. We limited ourselves generally to one track per artist – many of these had more than one deserving song. Here is the playlist – from 40 down to Maroon 5 at No. 1.

Spotlight Artist: Florence + The Machine

Every weekday between 1 and 5pm we play tracks from our #spotlightartist. They’re an artist with a body of work which has stood the test of time. We’ll play the hits – but also some deep cuts. Listen ad-free through New Zealand via @tunein at https://goo.gl/VL6m3NS

Florence + The Machine formed in 2007, featuring Florence Welch on lead vocals, with Isabella “Machine” Summers and other collaborators. Archetypal Indie rock, Florence’s belting vocals are an outstanding feature. This week we’ll enjoy music from their initial 2009 album Lungs, Ceremonials (2011) and How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015). Their most recent album High As Hope from a couple of months ago is still in rotation and was an Album of the Week a couple of months ago. A very consistent band with a great repertoire already.

From The Telegraph:

Welch’s singing throughout is extraordinary, shifting gears effortlessly from melancholic softness to high-powered exultation, even ululation. Every gasp, growl and fluttery trill seems perfectly placed.

Say no more.
