Yes, but is it art?

I don’t usually post album sleeves on the blog. I mean, who really cares about Leona Lewis's latest attempt to do sultry "come-to-bed-but-not-really-to-bed-because-I'm-a-good-girl" eyes, or what order The Saturdays are standing in today?

Literally no-one. That's who.

But I thought I’d make an exception for Florence and the Machine's new album, because they’ve clearly tried to say something relevant about the band through the medium of photography. Like Spinderella, I am about to break it down for you.



1) A ROSE
Because Florence sings sweetly but she can be prickly, too.

2) A BUDGIE
Florence has a vocabulary of over 17 words.

3) FLOCK CURTAINS
Florence is the love-child of a peacock and a bordello.

4) THE TATTOO
She literally wears her heart on her sleeve. (Well, her arm, if you want to be completely accurate. But you get the point.)

5) A PAIR OF LUNGS ON A NECKLACE
Florence uses these as a pair of bellows to keep fires going in the depth of winter. Oh, and it's also the title of the album, as you can read in the agressively cheap font just to the left.

No wonder Florence has decided to shut her eyes.
