Florence Welch's new album, Everybody Scream, is shaped by the occult but portrays profoundly human experiences.
In August 2023, Florence Welch suffered a miscarriage on stage, a life-altering event that spurred the creation of Everybody Scream.
The pregnancy was ectopic: her fallopian tube had ruptured and a Coke can’s worth of blood had accumulated in her abdomen.
The title track introduces listeners to Welch's church with its organs and choral singing, before a thumping drum and propulsive glam-rock bass sets her sermon in motion.
