Florence and the Machine - Back with a Bang!

There’s no doubt about it –Florence Welch is back with an almighty bang having shipped a massive 1 MILLION albums worldwide in just two weeks since the release of her global smash of a follow up record, ‘Ceremonials’. Her widely acclaimed album immediately hit the #1 spot in the UK charts on release and crashed into the US Billboard Top, ranking her right up there with other British heavyweights Adele and Coldplay. ‘No Light, No Light’ is the epic and heart wrenching follow up to lead single ‘Shake It Out’ and will be released on January 16. Remixes come from the wondrous Dave Sitek and Breakage – his only remix of 2011. Part romantic battle-cry, part rain-lashed pledge of devotion, thrashed out over harps, tribal drums and interweaving harmonies, this was one of the first songs to be written for Ceremonials and set the tone for a record that acts as a showcase for its creators’ unabashed maximalism. “There are things I struggle to talk about face-to-face. I’m not a confrontational person. But the great thing about music is that it allows you to do talk about those things to a huge group of people. I think that if No Light, No Light is about anything, it’s about that. Isa [Summers, keyboards] had this intense gritty electronic beat and we built it from there.” See Florence perform ‘No Light ‘No Light’ on Later…With Jools Holland here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emogqey7DxQ
She headed out to America recently to perform on both Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America before her first promotional tour for ‘Ceremonials’, Florence and her almighty machine will return to the UK for a mammoth celebratory tour in 2012. More details to follow!
