Music Box: Florence and the Machine

As part of a post-layoff cheer-me-up plan, my friend Christopher gave me the deluxe edition of "Lungs," the debut album by Florence and the Machine last month. I've only recently started to listen to it, but I can already tell I'm pretty sold on her Kate Bush by way of the Pipettes brand of pop. The single "Kiss With a Fist" -- the 21st century's answer to "He Hit Me (and It Felt Like a Kiss)" -- will quickly show you why.
