Florence and The Machine - on the edge of the edge

Florence and the Machine is the recording name of Florence Welch and a collaboration of other artists who provide backing music for her voice. Formed inLondon, England, Florence and The Machine won the critics choice award at the 2009 Brit Awards.

Musically Florence and the Machine's sound is generally referred to as soul-inspired indie rock. Florence and the Machine's music has received praise across the music media, especially from the BBC who played a large part in Florence and the Machine's rise to prominence by promoting her as part of BBC Introducing. This led to the band playing at a number of music festivals in 2008, including Glastonbury as well as Reading and Leeds and T in the Park.

The band's debut album, Lungs was released on 6 July 2009, and held the number 2 position for its first five weeks in the charts, behind Michael Jackson.
