Florence to start work on album #2 in October
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 17 August 2010
Florence Welch will soon be cranking up her machine again in order to get to work on recording her second album, the follow-up to last year’s ‘Lungs’, which she promises will be influenced by an “eclectic mix” of other artists. Let’s hope she gives them all proper credit for their ‘influence’ this time.
Welch told BBC 6music: “I’m definitely going to work with a couple of new people. I’m hoping I’ll have some time off in September and then in October or November time I’ll start really concentrating on doing the full thing. I’m quite easily distracted and my thoughts are hard to pin down, but it’s good in some ways. I think it was like lyrically we’re moving away from the blood and guts of the first album”.
On the subject of influences, she said: “I always listen to Tom Waits, Crystal Castles and this guy called Chad VanGaalen and then weird French new rave stuff. It’s quite an eclectic mix and I’m not sure how it’s going to come across in the new album. It kind of sinks in subliminally, I think”.
