Florence Welch Talks 'High As Hope'

Florence + the Machine has been working on the new album since last year. In an interview with BBC Radio 1, frontwoman and lyricist Welch discussed the process of recording High As Hope and giving up drinking to create new music.

"It's interesting because I think I never knew how to come down after a tour before, so I would just go on a massive bender," she explained. "And I wasn't doing that, so I just went straight back in the studio."

Watch the interview below.

 

High As Hope is set for release on June 29, Preorders are now available via the band's official website.
