Tonight I saw Florence + the Machine's first ever North American show and it was the most mesmerizing, glorious experience I've ever had at a concert. It was at times a theatrical extravaganza, a revival meeting and a rave. I can't even put into words how incredible it was - I can only say that seeing that lovely silent-movie star looking slip of an English lass one would never expect that when she opened her mouth there was such glory to be found. She sings from the tip of her toes, with every follicle of hair, a voice that is bigger than anything. I was honored and lucky to be able to see her play.
Check out the fantastic Florence Daily site, which is where the picture comes from!
(My favorite song of the night was Howl, seen here from her performance in Glastonbury)
There is another brief review of the show and tons of gorgeous photos at the brooklynvegan site!
