Her debut single ‘Kiss With A Fist’ was an adrenaline fuelled indie club anthem inspired by dysfunctional relationships. Now her new single, the devastating ‘Dog Days Are Over’, is inspired by a sign Florence saw on Waterloo Bridge by contemporary artist Ugo Rondine.
Again released by superior independent label Moshi Moshi, and produced by the studio man of the moment James Ford (Artic Monkeys, Klaxons), this stunning end of night anthem shows that this young singer/songwriter is simply one of the most amazing talents in British music today. The meticulous artwork, created one evening in Sydenham Hill Forest, reflects the songs theme of transcendence, casting Florence as a feral creature being waited on by a macabre cast of woodland animals.
Already a remarkable artist with a growing cult following and with her debut album set for release in the spring of 2009, Florence Welch just keeps getting better and better. A deserved highlight at this summers Reading, Leeds, Glastonbury and Bestival festivals – be sure to catch Florence and The Machine on tour across the UK in November.
'Dog Days Are Over' is released on the 24th of November 2008.
