Florence and the Machine Strolls Down Abbey Road

Florence and the Machine is well into album number two, and according to producer Paul Epworth, it’s going to be much heavier. He told the BBC, “It’s going to be more stripped down, but it’s heavy, rhythmically. It’s a much heavier record than the first album.” There are 16 songs up for consideration for the new album, though Epworth said they would be whittled down to fewer than that. Florence and Epworth have been hard at work on the new album, described “as a lot less indie and a lot more soulful,” in the infamous Abbey Road studios. Epworth most recently co-wrote and produced a few tracks on Adele’s latest record, including the gem “Rolling in the Deep.”
