Florence and the Machine

[cyrano]

It's not something I can immediately confine with a clever "It's like Band A meets Band B in a location conducive to Genre C and Band D is their waiter" metaphor, but there's guitars and synth layers, and a very strong female lead vocal.
I downloaded "You've Got the Love" and "Rabbit Heart", and since "Kiss With a Fist" isn't available for free download, I may find it and spring for the $1 download on iTunes. "Postcards from Italy" is a departure from the rest of the cuts on this page--acoustic guitar solo. I'm not sure I like it, but it certainly kept my attention.

EDITED to add the gosh darned link to the page.

XD I heard a Bat for Lashes song in a store and came home and looked it up by the lyrics online, found it on youtube, and one of the recs from youtube was Florence + the Machine. That's how I found 'em. XD (The Bat for Lashes song was "Daniel", if that makes a difference... kinda 80s-ish. I like.)

uploading *cough* things to http://www.wingboys.com/ffmusic shortly...

edit: *finds other commends in inbox* just Halo then? ^_^; (It did take me some tracking down to get it after I heard it on youtube)

I found it. I was surprised that it wasn't Depeche Mode (or even Foo Fighters or NIN), and it all worked out in the end. (:
