Indie Music
Florence + The Machine‘, ‘Lungs’
This album is a bit of an oldie as it recently celebrated the 10th anniversary but Florence + The Machine is still played on our radios. However, ‘with age comes wisdom’, to quote Oscar Wilde, as Florence and the band released the 10th Anniversary edition featuring all our favourite songs such as ‘Shake it out’ and ‘You’ve Got The Love’ but also contains four unreleased demos such as ‘Donkey Kosh’ and ‘My Best Dress’. This album perfectly captured the zeitgeist of the late 00’s. So get your speaker and blare these songs ’cause these are great party tunes.
