Hailing from South London, Florence Mary Leontine Welch writes songs that occupy the same confessional territory as gossip-loving, genre-bending contemporaries like Amy Winehouse, Kate Nash, Adele, and Lily Allen, blending pop, soul, and baroque arrangements into a sound that earned the young artist considerable buzz in 2007. Managed by the Camden-based DJ duo the Queens of Noize and backed by a rotating lineup of musicians, Florence + the Machine released their debut single, “Kiss with a Fist,” on the Moshi Moshi label in June 2008. The critically acclaimed debut album Lungs followed in July 2009 and quickly became one of the year’s most popular releases in the U.K., where Florence charted four Top 40 singles in less than 12 months.
Florence + the Machine’s new album is set to be titled Ceremonials and released on Halloween. The LP was recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios with producer Paul Epworth, who recently tweeted there were “no weak [tracks]” on the LP. He added that it was “more stripped down” but also “much heavier” than ‘Lungs’.
