Due June 2 in North America, the follow-up to 2011's "Ceremonials" was recorded throughout 2014 and produced by Markus Dravs (Bj�rk, Arcade Fire, Coldplay) with contributions from Paul Epworth, Kid Harpoon and John Hill.

"Markus has done a few Arcade Fire albums," says Florence, "and he's done Bj�rk's Homogenic, which is a huge record for me. And I felt he had that balance of organic and electronic capabilities, managing those two worlds.

"And, you know, he's good with big sounds. And I like big sounds. And he's good with trumpets, and I knew I wanted a brass section on this record."
