Professional Reviews
Spin (p.76) – “On ‘Dog Days Are Over,’ she sings so delicately about a happiness that hits you ‘like a train’ that you feel protective.”
Spin (p.33) – Ranked #8 in Spin’s “40 Best Albums Of 2009″ — “[The] debut has a decidedly slick veneer, making ’80s New Romanticism feel like a fresh clarion call…”
Entertainment Weekly (p.58) – “Singer Florence Welch’s immaculately constructed indie pop recalls Regina Spektor, but without the studied artiness…” — Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly (p.104) – Included in Entertainment Weekly’s ‘The Best Albums of 2009′ — “LUNGS evokes generations of iconoclastic females…but doesn’t surrender Welch’s own spectacular voice for a moment.”
Pitchfork (Website) – “[With] garage rock, epic soul, pint-tipping Britbeat, and — best of all — a mystic brand of pop that’s part Annie Lennox, Grace Slick and Joanna Newsom.”
