Anyone who's met me could probably guess that I would like Florence and The Machine. I try to work against my own stereotypes, but in the end this just leaves me months behind everyone else when I begrudgingly admit that I do like most female artists.
Whilst most people fell for Florence and The Machine when Kiss With A Fist was used in an advertising campaign for 4Music, it was The Dog Days Are Over that did it for me. It's such an uplifting piece of music, the cute little mandolin at the start is just the beginning. The lyrics are so imaginative and full of wonderful images, you can almost see horses. I'm still not that fussed about anything else she's done, but this really is a masterpiece.
