New Music: Florence And The Machine

Florence And The Machine have released the first song from their second album What The Water Gave Me, scheduled for a November release.

The track is named after a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and was also inspired by the death of author Virginia Woolf, who drowned herself in a river by filling her coat pockets with stones.

Speaking to NME about the song, singer Florence Welch said:

At lot of the time when I’m writing, things will just appear. I was writing the song and this book on symbolism was lying around, and it had the painting in it. It’s nice to mix the ordinary with extraordinary.
