Girth Radio Presents…

Some bands…say U2, Radiohead, R.E.M. for example you pay em to change up their sound. Gimme something different, yo!
Other bands like Florence + The Machine you quietly urge em to keep the same sound/style. With Wish That You Were Here Florence positively responds to that urge:

Fun Facts

  • From Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: I’m out.
  • Still working through Florence’s last album 2015’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
  • My favourite Tim Burton movie is Edward Scissorhands
