#11 | Florence + The Machine | Dance Fever
Polydor
Amongst the many distinctions of their discography is Welch’s crowning voice, capable of a Beyoncé level ferocity that indie rock is lucky to call their own. It’s a total joy here to see new angles to that herculean tone (the creak of “Restraint,” the high notes of “Choreomania”), not one iota less impressive today than it was in 2008. It always did fit so perfectly with the cinematic voyages she takes us on, grandiose strings and arcane harps transcendent alongside its unique timbre and caliber.
Florence Welch is a superstar, but not a pop star in the traditional sense, and comes across as human as the rest of us. The mercurial Dance Fever is a chaotic return to form from more than just a ceaselessly stellar vocalist, and it is Florence + The Machine’s best album in a decade. [Read Alex Driscoll’s Review]
