Lungs (2008 - Present)

Florence and the Machine released their debut album Lungs in the United Kingdom on 6 July, 2009. The album was officially launched with a set at the Rivoli Ballroom in Brockley, South East London. The album has peaked at the number 1 position in the UK and the number 13 position in Europe. As of 6 August the album had sold over 100,000 copies in the UK and by 10 August it had been at the number 2 position for five straight weeks. Following its 25 July 2009 release for download in the United States the album debuted at the number 17 position on the Billboard "Heatseekers" chart. The album was released physically in the U.S. on 20 October by Island Records.
The album was produced by James Ford, Paul Epworth, Steve Mackey and Charlie Hugall. Much of the material on the album was written as reaction to what turned out to be a temporary break-up with Welch's current boyfriend. Welch says "He prefers me not to talk about it. It's funny then singing about it."
The debut single was "Kiss with a Fist" and the song was used in the soundtrack of the film Jennifer's Body. The follow-up single, "Dog Days Are Over", was recorded with no instruments in a studio the "size of a loo". The next singles were "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)", "Drumming Song" and "You've Got The Love". In January 2010, "Hurricane Drunk" was announced as the sixth single from the album.
