Arriving three-and-a-half years after 2011's well-received Ceremonials, the 11-track set, the first Florence + the Machine album to be produced by Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Coldplay), eschews some of the bombast and water- and death-fixated metaphors of Lungs and Ceremonials in favor of a more restrained sonic scope and an honest reckoning with the dark follies of your late twenties. This change is most notable on the workmanlike opener \"Ship to Wreck,\" a shimmering, open road-ready folk-rock rumination on the ambiguity\/inevitability of post-fame self-destruction that, unlike prior first cuts like \"Dog Days Are Over\" and \"Only If for a Night,\" feels firmly rooted in the now. The bluesy (and ballsy) \"What a Man,\" the propulsive and purposeful \"Delilah,\" and the gorgeous title track impress the most. Instead of building to a fevered crescendo, as is the Flo-Machine way, the latter cut, a transcendent, slow-burning, chamber pop gem, dissolves into a simple and elegant, yet still goose-bump-inducing round of horns, and is breathtaking without knocking the wind out of you. ~ James Christopher Monger\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ALTERNATIVE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: 2xLP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/02\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- ALT\/INDIE *NEW*","offer_id":49252238196978,"sku":"R2Z0K1-Q60A-QH","price":39.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/florence-the-machine-how-big-how-blue-how-beautiful-2-lps_GxLRi.jpg?v=1779607370","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/florence-the-machine-how-big-how-blue-how-beautiful-2-lps-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
