Florence and the Machine (stylised as Florence + the Machine) are an English indie rock band formed in London in 2007 by lead vocalist Florence Welch, keyboardist Isabella Summers, guitarist Rob Ackroyd, drummer Christopher Lloyd Hayden and harpist Tom Monger. The band's music features dramatic, eccentric production and Welch's powerful vocals.[1] Their sound has been described as a combination of various genres, including rock and soul.[2][3] The band's debut studio album, Lungs, was released on 3 July 2009, and held the number-two position for its first five weeks on the UK Albums Chart.[4] On 17 January 2010, the album reached the top position, after being on the chart for twenty-eight consecutive weeks.[5] As of October 2010, the album had been in the top forty in the United Kingdom for sixty-five consecutive weeks, making it one of the best-selling albums of 2009 and 2010. The group's second studio album, Ceremonials, released in October 2011, entered the charts at number one in the UK and number six in the US. The band's third studio album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, was released on 2 June 2015. It topped the UK charts, and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, their first to do so.[6][7] The album reached number one in a total of eight countries and the top ten of twenty. Also in 2015, the band was the headlining act at Glastonbury Festival, making Welch the first British female headliner of the 21st century.[8] The BBC played a part in their rise to prominence by promoting Florence and the Machine as part of BBC Music Introducing. At the 2009 Brit Awards, they received the Critics' Choice Award. Lungs won the Brit Award for Best British Album in 2010, while Florence and the Machine have been nominated for six Grammy Awards including Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album.

Suggested by erentan
As New York struggles to recover from the profound devastation and trauma left by recent multiversal wars, its underworld is dragged into calculated chaos through the secret manipulations of Wilson Fisk, who has retreated to a tropical island. Exploiting a security breach funded by Fisk, Cletus Kasady escapes from Ravencroft Asylum, bonding with the Carnage symbiote to turn the city into his own bloody room of pleasure. Alongside Frances Barrison (Shriek), whom he met in captivity, Cletus embarks on a relentless killing spree where violence transforms into a sick, twisted romance. Crushing the reign of ruthless street boss Lee Price, this savage spectacle is, in reality, a grotesque feast offered to Rio Vidal (Lady Death) and Agatha Agnes, who watch the unfolding carnage from the shadows like a theatrical performance. The burden of ending this unstoppable brutality falls upon the exhausted Detective Patrick Mulligan, a man on the brink of moral collapse whose body and mind have been forcibly overtaken by the Toxin symbiote. Peter Parker and Eddie Brock—now darkened, intolerant figures crushed under the heavy weight of their pasts—guide Mulligan in this desperate war while fiercely trying to keep Eddie's son, Dylan, safe. During the ultimate, bloody showdown engulfing Times Square, Frank Castle (The Punisher) intervenes in the chaos. He cold-bloodedly executes Frances with a single bullet, instantly triggering Cletus's psychological collapse. When the Carnage rampage finally ends, what remains is a shattered, leaderless, and weary New York; a perfectly cleansed kingdom for the Kingpin, who is now ready to reclaim his throne.
