Florence and the Machine

Well I'm sure you have heard "Dog days are over" blasting from the radiospeakers or maybe sneaked in several movie soundtracks. Even though the debut album was released a year and a half ago, in June 09, it seems that it has only been within the last six months "Dog days are over" has been playing here and there on the radio etc.  I must admit that I have enjoyed the album in the background, but I havent been listening to it intensively, except for the mad wicked song "Drumming Song". All that changed when I was doing dishes and listening it loud in my head phones. The album is actually really good. I especially enjoy "Howl" and "Blinding", which I have killed on repeat, doing dishes, biking, in the shower. Love them!! If you havent discovered "Lungs" yet, give it a listen. Here are my two new favorites:

Melissa Horn

I just realised that I have never blogged about Melissa Horn, even though I have loved her with a passion this year. I have had the great priviledge of experiencing her live twice, and she is so captivating. She can with her little fragile voice silence a huge audience, and you can almost hear a needle drop. Being just 23, her lyrics shows increadible depth, and you honestly feel like she had a therapy session with you and then wrote your story afterwards. Melissa Horn is one of the artists who sprung out of the Scandinavian Spotify generation, generating popularity through free streaming.  Here are some of her songs.
