Florence Welch aka Florence And The Machine hails out of the UK and she's got all the Brit buzz. The BBC critics poll placed her at #3 on that list of most likely breakouts for 2009, the NME threw her on a cover, MGMT took her on their European tour, etc. From what I've heard, which isn't much beyond her singles "Kiss With A Fist" and "Dog Days Are Over," she seems to be somewhere between Kate Nash and Regina Spektor in terms of melodic/lyrical phrasing and Jemina Pearl in terms of occasionally distorted guitars and wanting to kick you in the teeth, contemporarily speaking. Just with a little more soul, and a little more Kate Bush.
