Florence + the Machine<\/a> has released \u201cEverybody Scream,\u201d the title track and first single to their upcoming sixth album<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody Scream\u201d is undoubtedly a darker turn from Florence + the Machine. Across an eerie trot, the song finds Florence Welch addressing the entity that takes over when she performs:\u00a0\u201cLook at me run myself ragged\/ Blood on the stage\/ But how can I leave you when you\u2019re screaming my name?,\u201d she sings in the first chorus. Her commands for everyone to scream, sing, and dance are echoed by a chilling choir throughout, and the song culminates in something of a spell.<\/p>\n The song also arrives with a video directed by Autumn de Wilde, who also helmed each of the videos from Florence + the Machine\u2019s last album, 2022\u2019s Dance Fever<\/em>. The video depicts a chaotic scene in a countryside, with frantic shots of people possessed by an unknown force, shaking uncontrollably, and \u2014 true to the song\u2019s title \u2014 screaming. IDLES\u2019 Mark Bowen also appears as one of the men possessed by Welch\u2019s (evil?) charm. Watch the official video below.<\/p>\n Related Video<\/p>\n Along with the release of the title track, Florence + the Machine have offered more details about the upcoming album. According to a press release, Welch was inspired by her recovery from a lifesaving surgery conducted during her \u201cDance Fever\u201d tour in 2022. She crafted the album over a two-year period with a close knit group of collaborators, including the aforementioned Bowen as well as Mitski and The National\u2019s Aaron Dessner.<\/p>\n Welch also revealed some of the new album\u2019s inspirations, which include witchcraft, folk horror, mysticism, chaos, and more. In addition to posting a photo working with Bowen on the new album and wrote \u201cSwans vs. Adele\u201d on a notebook, alluding to a more carnal, hybrid sound for Everybody Scream<\/em>.<\/p>\n Florence + the Machine\u2019s upcoming album\u00a0Everybody Scream<\/em> will arrive on October 31st. Pre-orders for the new album are ongoing via the band\u2019s website<\/a>.
