Lungs is the debut studio album by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine, released on 3 July 2009 by Island Records.

The album features production from James Ford, Paul Epworth, Stephen Mackey, Eg White and Charlie Hugall, with additional production by band member Isabella Summers. The album has been reissued several times: an expanded version titled Between Two Lungs (2010), a digital EP subtitled The B-Sides (2011), and a Tenth Anniversary Edition (2019).

Lungs received generally positive reviews from music critics, with Welch drawing comparisons to the likes of Kate Bush and Fiona Apple. It appeared on several year-end critics' lists in late 2009. The album won the award for British Album of the Year at the Brit Awards. Commercially, Lungs reached number one in Poland and the United Kingdom, and number 14 in the US Billboard 200, selling over 3 million copies worldwide.

The album was supported by six singles, all of which were supplemented by accompanying music videos. "Kiss with a Fist" peaked at 51 in the United Kingdom while "Dog Days Are Over" and "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" also charted in Australia and Belgium. Three further singles followed the release of the album, "Drumming Song", a cover of the song "You've Got the Love", and "Cosmic Love". Their cover of the Source and Candi Staton song became the group's first top-10 entry. To promote the album, Florence and the Machine embarked on the Lungs Tour between 2008 and 2011. A live album from this concert was released in 2010, titled Live at the Wiltern.

Background and recording edit

Prior to recording Lungs, Florence Welch had considered or attempted several different projects in the music industry, including an interest in becoming a country singer, recording folk songs she had written, and collaborating with Razorlight's frontman Johnny Borrell, but ultimately she was unsatisfied with those endeavors.[4] Welch and Borrell wrote several songs together.[citation needed] In 2007, Welch fronted the hip hop-influenced group Ashok, recording an early version of "Kiss with a Fist", titled "Happy Slap", for their debut studio album, Plans.[4][5]

It was not until Welch began writing and recording with childhood friend Isabella Summers at Antenna Studios in London that Welch crafted a sound she wanted to develop further.[6] Distraught but also inspired from a recently failed relationship, Welch recorded with "enthusiasm over skills", stating, "I'm quite glad I never learned to play the guitar, because I think I'd write songs that were more classically structured. As it is, I've had to create my own way of writing, which isn't typical. Everything's a big crescendo."[4] For a brief while, Welch and Summers performed as a duo called Florence Robot/Isa Machine in small London venues.[7] Over the coming months, Robert Ackroyd (guitar, backing vocals), Chris Hayden (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Mark Saunders (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Tom Monger (harp) were recruited to form a band, renamed Florence and the Machine.[8] In November 2008, Welch signed a recording contract with Island Records.[4] Prior to recording the album, Welch spent a long time honing her sound while working with guitarists, intent on "[making] it into something that was a wave of sound that would envelop, something that was soaring, slightly church-like and then-doomlike."[9]

The band elected to record a shorter rendition of "Kiss with a Fist" as their debut single. Welch, however, began expanding upon the crude punk style which influenced "Kiss with a Fist" by listening to more contemporary music, particularly Arcade Fire's debut album Funeral (2004).[10] The influence of the recordings would manifest itself on the concept she had devised for Lungs, which, according to Welch, was a "scrapbook of the past five years... it's about guilt, fear, love, death, violence, nightmares, [and] dreams".[11] Ultimately, the majority of Welch's earlier self-penned compositions were rejected for the album—except "Kiss with a Fist" and "Between Two Lungs"—because they did not mesh well with the album's themes.[12] Fortunately for the group, they rehearsed and improvised some of the material in the relaxed setting of Summers' studio, allowing Welch to refine the tribal drumming backdropping Lungs's tracks, most notably "Dog Days Are Over".[13]

Florence and the Machine recorded Lungs in the United Kingdom with five different producers—Paul Epworth, James Ford, Stephen Mackey, Eg White, and Charlie Hugall. Most of the songs on the album were mixed by Cenzo Townshend.[14] The album's sound is described as indie rock, indie pop, baroque pop, art rock, art pop, alternative rock and soul with influences of punk blues, electro-rock and garage rock.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Artwork edit

The imagery of Lungs, featuring a style derived from the Ante-Donatello Brotherhood, was handled by two of Welch's friends: photographer Tom Beard and art director Tabitha Denholm, who are partners at the studio Partizan. Denholm also plays with the band's manager Mairead Nash in the DJ duo Queens of Noize.[22] For the album cover, Denholm created a concept built around a pair of lungs worn visibly on Welch's chest. Welch's personal stylist Aldene Johnson handled the wardrobe, "an Emma Cook chain dress that was in a kind of 1920s style",[23] while Orlando Weeks, an art student and frontman of the band the Maccabees, built the prosthetic lungs, which he intended to give "a Victoriana, industrial punchbag kind of look".[24]

Release and promotion edit

Florence and the Machine announced via their website on 24 September 2010 that Lungs would be re-released on 15 November as a two-disc package titled Between Two Lungs. The reissue features new sleeve art, liner notes by Welch, and a 12-track bonus disc including live versions, remixes, Welch's mashup collaboration with Dizzee Rascal, "You Got the Dirtee Love", and "Heavy in Your Arms", which was released as a single from the soundtrack to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010).[25] The live recordings are taken from the band's performance at the 2010 iTunes Festival, most of which were not previously available on the band's iTunes Festival: London 2010 EP.

On 27 February 2011, Lungs: The B-Sides was released exclusively in the United States to digital music retailers such as the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3.[26][2] This was followed by the release of a deluxe edition of Lungs in the US on 26 April 2011, featuring all 11 tracks from Lungs: The B-Sides on a bonus disc to accompany the original 13-track album.[27] On 3 July 2019, ten years after the original release of the album, the band announced that a limited "tenth anniversary edition" was available for pre-order.[28] It was released digitally on 16 August,[29] with the LPs and cassettes released the same day. An exclusive box set was released on 4 October.[30] The box set comprises the original LP; a second LP with "three previously unreleased demo tracks, a rare acoustic version of "My Boy Builds Coffins", a cover of the Beatles' "Oh! Darling" Live at Abbey Road, and a number of B sides [and] rarities."[31] It also includes "postcards and inserts, showcasing previously unseen images from the Lungs era" chosen by Welch herself.[31][32]

Singles edit

"Kiss with a Fist" was released on 9 June 2008 as the lead single from Lungs, peaking at number 51 on the UK Singles Chart.[33]

"Dog Days Are Over" was released on 1 December 2008 as the album's second single. While the 2010 reissue charted higher, the 2008 release only reached number 89 on the UK Singles Chart.[33] The song was used in the theatrical trailer for the 2010 film Eat Pray Love, starring Julia Roberts.[34] The Yeasayer remix of "Dog Days Are Over", which is included on Between Two Lungs, was released on 12 October 2010 on iTunes.[35]

"Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" was released as the third single from the album on 22 June 2009, peaking at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.[33] "Drumming Song" was released as the album's fourth single on 7 September 2009, reaching number 54 in the UK.[33]

"You've Got the Love" was the fifth single to be released from the album, and reached a new peak of number five on the UK Singles Chart in January 2010.[33] The band had recorded a version of this the Source song which had been a live staple and issued it as a B-side to "Dog Days Are Over", but the success of the previous singles made Island request "You've Got the Love" as a single. Welch went on to record new vocal takes with engineer Cenzo Townshend, replacing the first two verses and the first chorus. Townshend also remixed the bass and drums to be "a bit harder and the bottom end a bit heavier."[14] Florence and the Machine's duet with rapper Dizzee Rascal at the 2010 Brit Awards on 16 February 2010, a mashup of "You've Got the Love" and Dizzee Rascal's "Dirtee Cash" titled "You Got the Dirtee Love", was released on iTunes the day after the ceremony.[36][37] "You Got the Dirtee Love" reached number two on the UK chart.[33]

On 5 January 2010, "Hurricane Drunk" was originally announced as the sixth single from the album.[38] A video for the song was filmed in Paris on 8 January 2010 and premiered on 29 January after the Celebrity Big Brother 2010 final on Channel 4.[38][39] However, on 3 March 2010, a reissue of "Dog Days Are Over" was announced through the band's website. The single was released digitally on 11 April and as a seven-inch vinyl the following day, along with a new music video.[40] It reached a peak of number 23 on the UK Singles Chart,[33] later reaching a new peak of number 21 in 2023 following renewed interest in the track after its inclusion in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3.[41]

"Cosmic Love" was released on 5 July 2010 as the album's sixth and final single.[42] The song reached number 51 on the UK Singles Chart.[33] The band made a guest appearance in the 7 February 2011 episode of Gossip Girl, titled "Panic Roommate", where they performed an acoustic rendition of "Cosmic Love".[43]

Lungs received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 79, based on 22 reviews.[45] James Christopher Monger of AllMusic praised it as "one of the most musically mature and emotionally mesmerizing albums of 2009" and stated, "With an arsenal of weaponry that included the daring musicality of Kate Bush, the fearless delivery of Sinéad O'Connor, and the dark, unhinged vulnerability of Fiona Apple, the London native crafted a debut that not only lived up to the machine-gun spray of buzz that heralded her arrival, but easily surpassed it."[46] Ryan Dombal wrote for Pitchfork that Florence Welch "bursts mouth wide wide over 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."[20] Q noted that "there's a lot going on, but Welch never confuses breadth with depth".[52] Entertainment Weekly's Joseph Brannigan Lynch opined that Welch's "immaculately constructed indie pop recalls Regina Spektor, but without the studied artiness: Welch is more concerned with raw emotional release."[48] Spin's Melissa Maerz stated, "From the way she sings, in big gulps and Teen Wolf growls, to the mystical art-rock ballads she bedazzles with sleigh bells, harps, and choirs, there's enough drama here for a Broadway musical. But her delivery is so raw that every mess feels genuine."[53]

Rolling Stone's Jon Dolan expressed that "[t]he best bits feel like being chased through a moonless night by a sexy moor witch."[16] Slant Magazine's Nick Day referred to the band's music as "particularly sensitive to studio gloss" and praised Welch's singing as "a fine balance between elegance and frenzy."[54] In a review for The Guardian, Dave Simpson viewed that Welch "has created a sonic labyrinth of xylophones, percussion, Gregorian chants and werewolves. It can sound affected, occasionally crass, but there's enough adventure to make this worth backing for the Mercury."[49] Jamie Fullerton of NME commended the work of producers James Ford and Paul Epworth, writing that they "create epic cauldron-swirls of Terminator-theme drums, Massive Attack atmospherics and twinkle-eye harp matched by Florence's grappling of skyward choruses", but found that "with the likes of 'I'm Not Calling You A Liar' and 'Howl' boasting similarly windy production yet no identifiable tunes the results sound aimless—if harmless."[50] Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club felt that "[a]t times, Lungs borders on exhausting, careening as it does from one over-the-top track to the next. [...] But with a voice as strong and emotive as hers, it's not surprising that Welch has little use for moments of quiet contemplation."[47] Despite criticising instances of "over-smoothed" production on certain tracks, The Observer's Sheryl Garratt concluded that "there's a real joy about this debut. It's the sound of someone who has found their voice and is keen to use it – as loudly and freely as possible."[51]

Accolades edit

Lungs was shortlisted for the 2009 Mercury Prize.[55] The following year, the album won the MasterCard British Album award at the Brit Awards.[56]

Florence Welch performing live in Shoreditch Park London 2007 Prior to recording Lungs Florence Welch had considered or attempted several different projects in the music industry including an interest in becoming a country singer recording folk songs she had written and collaborating with Razorlight s frontman Johnny Borrell but ultimately she was unsatisfied with those endeavors 4 Welch and Borrell wrote several songs together citation needed In 2007 Welch fronted the hip hop influenced group Ashok recording an early version of Kiss with a Fist titled Happy Slap for their debut studio album Plans 4 5 It was not until Welch began writing and recording with childhood friend Isabella Summers at Antenna Studios in London that Welch crafted a sound she wanted to develop further 6 Distraught but also inspired from a recently failed relationship Welch recorded with enthusiasm over skills stating I m quite glad I never learned to play the guitar because I think I d write songs that were more classically structured As it is I ve had to create my own way of writing which isn t typical Everything s a big crescendo 4 For a brief while Welch and Summers performed as a duo called Florence Robot Isa Machine in small London venues 7 Over the coming months Robert Ackroyd guitar backing vocals Chris Hayden drums percussion backing vocals Mark Saunders bass guitar backing vocals and Tom Monger harp were recruited to form a band renamed Florence and the Machine 8 In November 2008 Welch signed a recording contract with Island Records 4 Prior to recording the album Welch spent a long time honing her sound while working with guitarists intent on making it into something that was a wave of sound that would envelop something that was soaring slightly church like and then doomlike 9 The band elected to record a shorter rendition of Kiss with a Fist as their debut single Welch however began expanding upon the crude punk style which influenced Kiss with a Fist by listening to more contemporary music particularly Arcade Fire s debut album Funeral 2004 10 The influence of the recordings would manifest itself on the concept she had devised for Lungs which according to Welch was a scrapbook of the past five years it s about guilt fear love death violence nightmares and dreams 11 Ultimately the majority of Welch s earlier self penned compositions were rejected for the album except Kiss with a Fist and Between Two Lungs because they did not mesh well with the album s themes 12 Fortunately for the group they rehearsed and improvised some of the material in the relaxed setting of Summers studio allowing Welch to refine the tribal drumming backdropping Lungs s tracks most notably Dog Days Are Over 13 Florence and the Machine recorded Lungs in the United Kingdom with five different producers Paul Epworth James Ford Stephen Mackey Eg White and Charlie Hugall Most of the songs on the album were mixed by Cenzo Townshend 14 The album s sound is described as indie rock indie pop baroque pop art rock art pop alternative rock and soul with influences of punk blues electro rock and garage rock 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Artwork edit The imagery of Lungs featuring a style derived from the Ante Donatello Brotherhood was handled by two of Welch s friends photographer Tom Beard and art director Tabitha Denholm who are partners at the studio Partizan Denholm also plays with the band s manager Mairead Nash in the DJ duo Queens of Noize 22 For the album cover Denholm created a concept built around a pair of lungs worn visibly on Welch s chest Welch s personal stylist Aldene Johnson handled the wardrobe an Emma Cook chain dress that was in a kind of 1920s style 23 while Orlando Weeks an art student and frontman of the band the Maccabees built the prosthetic lungs which he intended to give a Victoriana industrial punchbag kind of look 24 Release and promotion edit nbsp Florence and the Machine performing at Brixton Academy in December 2009 Florence and the Machine announced via their website on 24 September 2010 that Lungs would be re released on 15 November as a two disc package titled Between Two Lungs The reissue

on the UK Singles Chart in January 2010 33 The band had recorded a version of this the Source song which had been a live staple and issued it as a B side to Dog Days Are Over but the success of the previous singles made Island request You ve Got the Love as a single Welch went on to record new vocal takes with engineer Cenzo Townshend replacing the first two verses and the first chorus Townshend also remixed the bass and drums to be a bit harder and the bottom end a bit heavier 14 Florence and the Machine s duet with rapper Dizzee Rascal at the 2010 Brit Awards on 16 February 2010 a mashup of You ve Got the Love and Dizzee Rascal s Dirtee Cash titled You Got the Dirtee Love was released on iTunes the day after the ceremony 36 37 You Got the Dirtee Love reached number two on the UK chart 33

53 Lungs received positive reviews from music critics At Metacritic which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications the album received an average score of 79 based on 22 reviews 45 James Christopher Monger of AllMusic praised it as one of the most musically mature and emotionally mesmerizing albums of 2009 and stated With an arsenal of weaponry that included the daring musicality of Kate Bush the fearless delivery of Sinead O Connor and the dark unhinged vulnerability of Fiona Apple the London native crafted a debut that not only lived up to the machine gun spray of buzz that heralded her arrival but easily surpassed it 46 Ryan Dombal wrote for Pitchfork that Florence Welch bursts mouth wide wide over 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 20 Q noted that there s a lot going on but Welch never confuses breadth with depth 52 Entertainment Weekly s Joseph Brannigan Lynch opined that Welch s immaculately constructed indie pop recalls Regina Spektor but without the studied artiness Welch is more concerned with raw emotional release 48 Spin s Melissa Maerz stated From the way she sings in big gulps and Teen Wolf growls to the mystical art rock ballads she bedazzles with sleigh bells harps and choirs there s enough drama here for a Broadway musical But her delivery is so raw that every mess feels genuine 53 Rolling Stone s Jon Dolan expressed that t he best bits feel like being chased through a moonless night by a sexy moor witch 16 Slant Magazine s Nick Day referred to the band s music as particularly sensitive to studio gloss and praised Welch s singing as a fine balance between elegance and frenzy 54 In a review for The Guardian Dave Simpson viewed that Welch has created a sonic labyrinth of xylophones percussion Gregorian chants and werewolves It can sound affected occasionally crass but there s enough adventure to make this worth backing for the Mercury 49 Jamie Fullerton of NME commended the work of producers James Ford and Paul Epworth writing that they create epic cauldron swirls of Terminator theme drums Massive Attack atmospherics and twinkle eye harp matched by Florence s grappling of skyward choruses but found that with the likes of I m Not Calling You A Liar and Howl boasting similarly windy production yet no identifiable tunes the results sound aimless if harmless 50 Genevieve Koski of The A V Club felt that a t times Lungs borders on exhausting careening as it does from one over the top track to the next But with a voice as strong and emotive as hers it s not surprising that Welch has little use for moments of quiet contemplation 47 Despite criticising instances of over smoothed production on certain tracks The Observer s Sheryl Garratt concluded that there s a real joy about this debut It s the sound of someone who has found their voice and is keen to use it as loudly and freely as possible 51 Accolades edit Lungs was shortlisted for the 2009 Mercury Prize 55 The following year the album won the MasterCard British Album award at the Brit Awards 56 Publication Accolade Rank Ref
