Florence and the Machine

"Ship to Wreck"

Florence and the Machine have been very generous in terms of sharing new material from the forthcoming How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. With the album release date of June 1 still a couple of months away, we can now listen to the song "Ship to Wreck."

The song is a brisk, breezy pop-rock number with a steady backbeat and acoustic strums. Project leader Florence Welch belts the choruses in a warbling howl, but the most of the arrangement favours toe-tapping brightness over Florence's signature gravitas.

Listen below. How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful will arrive through Island Records.
