FLORENCE + THE MACHINE – EVERYBODY SCREAM – ALBUM REVIEW
The promotion of Florence + The Machine’s last album, ‘Dance Fever’, ended abruptly amongst heartbreaking loss and a scary life-threatening medical emergency for Florence Welch.
Artists will often find catharsis in their creation, so it should be no surprise to anybody that their sixth album, ‘Everybody Scream’ tracks the theme not just of loss but also of recovery and hope. This naturally makes this an incredibly personal record for Welch and one that many will find solace in.
Welch has always oozed pure charisma however and this album is also able to get you moving with a grittier sound which is embellished by the presence of IDLES genius Mark Bowen. The more driven layers that have been added to the sound are hypnotic which ties in nicely with the majestic signature sound of the group.

Lyrically poetic and sonically expansive this isn’t just some of the most personal material Welch has created but it’s some of the very best also… and that’s saying something given the credibility of her back catalogue.
Just shy of fifty-minutes long this is a mesmeric release for a number of reasons but more than anything it’s just great to hear Welch again unleashing her special talents in such a focussed and rewarding way.
A collaborative album with many parts to the machine both old and new this is an album well worth investing your energy in, so give it a go and everybody scream!
