Nominated by a listener who claims it “saved their life and ruined their mascara,” this record is a whirlwind of harp-strung hysteria, gothic romance, and unapologetic emotional release.From the primal stomp of “Dog Days Are Over” to the feverish waltz of “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up),” the duo unpacks Florence’s lyrical symbolism, theatrical vocals, and the album’s uncanny ability to make heartbreak sound like a spiritual awakening.What’s inside:A breakdown of Lungs as a sonic exorcism and a poetic manifesto.Rob & Mike’s reactions to the album’s maximalist production and mythic storytelling.Listener reflections, chaotic metaphors, and one moment where Rob nearly cries over a harp solo.Available wherever you get your podcasts.
