Florence & The Machine will release their second studio album on November 7th, it has been confirmed.

The band, led principally by Florence Welch, announced the news while issuing details of the first taster from the new album, ‘What The Water Gave Me‘.

“It’s a song for the water because in music and art what I’m really interested in are the things that are overwhelming,” Florence Welch commented on the new track. “The ocean seems to me to be nature’s great overwhelmer.”

“When I was writing this song I was thinking a lot about all those people who’ve lost their lives in vain attempts to save their loved ones from drowning. It’s about water in all forms and all bodies.”

“It’s about a lot of things; Virginia Woolf creeps into it, and of course Frieda Kahlo, whose painfully beautiful painting gave me the title.”

The new album will be the follow up to 2009’s hugely successful, multi-nominated debut ‘Lungs‘.
