The new single from the third F+TM studio album is anthemic, as you might expect from the resounding voice of Florence Welch. However, jamming guitar riffs anchored by an amped and booming baseline and brass section, kick in to drive the Machine down a somewhat different road. Florence, has been quoted as saying her musical influences for this record, along with others, have been Bowie, Neil Young and Nick Cave. Recorded in LA, the city sky inspired the album name, How Big How Blue How Beautiful, which was a descrition Florence texted to a friend. The sound fused with a pained, powerful and at times, disturbing Vincent Haycock, directed video will leave you unsettled…but wanting to play it again. The album is due for release 2 Jun…I’m pre-ordering.
