Florence + The Machine Take You For a Spin Around Their Color Wheel

Florence + The Machine aren't just a motley crew of songsters. They're also a tornadic force of nature. Good to hear music that doesn't sound phoned in. Adrenalized lead female Florence Welch likely wouldn't allow it. "Spectrum", which you'll find perched in the CD called "Ceremonials", serves up an entire color wheel of vitality. Hanging from a ledge of Isabella Summers's keyboard angst in the early going, you know something's about to blow and you're right on in holding the assumption. This explosive salute to the colorful sprite in us all goes four on the floor quickly. Florence has a self-affirmation she's happy to sprinkle on countless others. That sense of identity is easily comparable to a bottle rocket that heads right through the stratosphere upon release. Chris Hayden slaps around his drum kit with a gleeful reckless abandon. It's been said of basketball teams that scramble for every loose ball and jockey for every shot opportunity that they "left it all out on the floor". Florence + The Machine definitely leaves every drop of their "it" qualities tingling on the mixing board. That's one hell of a boast-worthy reputation they've cut out for themselves since their 2007 birth. "Spectrum" is only going to make the stirred pot come to boil even faster.
