They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: London Grammar is a trio that are equal parts Hannah Reid's expressive vocals, multi-instrumentalist Dominic Major, and guitarist Dan Rothman. Hannah Reid is also the band's lyricist.

If You Wait is their debut album. Hannah's vocals are fantastic. She sounds a bit like a dialed down version of Florence Welch at times, which is a good thing.
The music fits, but I'm not crazy about electronica especially. No denying the power and beauty in Hannah's vocals though.
Where do they all belong? I took a punt on this while living in England and reading a positive review in Mojo Magazine. I've not felt the need to add their other albums to my collection.
