Florence + The Machine - Dance Fever

Off the bat, ‘Dance Fever’ is the most exciting Florence + the Machine record in yonks, and the clue is in the name as to why. Along with all the hallmarks of any Florence Welch release - lofty alt-rock charged with mythos and melodrama, knowing nods to the oeuvres of Kate Bush and Fleetwood Mac - her fifth album delivers a jolt of dancey electronica that has been largely absent from their sound since 2011’s ‘Ceremonials’. It’s good to have floor-filler Florence back.
