My hands-down-this-summer's-favourite-song: Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) by new indie band Florence & The Machine. Absolutely great! The Cranberries meets Texas meets Kleerup (and then some). Leadsinger Florence Welch has the most amazing voice, great lyrics, loads of layers, backturns, countercurrent. Wow!
While at it do also check out their songs Howl, Girl With One Eye and Cosmic Love. All these songs are from their debut album Lungs, released 9 July 2009. Well... actually, while at it, get the whole album. Fabulous!
Not so sure that the KateBush-esque video they made for Rabbit Heart is to my liking, but just dump the video and listen to the music instead.
Florence & The Machine is going to be Big!
... and what do I just discover? My music guru Eric Corton has Florence & The Machine as his band this week on his video blog at nrc.nl

This just wraps it for me.
