FLORENCE WELCH’S NEW ALBUM, IN HER OWN WORDS
Quote:
The Perils of “Me Time”
“This album was written over a period of time I had to myself. I was trying to come to terms with living outside of a tour bus, which is a place where your own chaos is catered to. After I was back home and living in my own environment again, and really by myself for the fist time, I realized, ‘You have to take care of yourself’ and that was something new. And very, very scary.”

The Album That Almost Wasn’t
I got tricked into making this record, really. I felt out at sea, lots of highs and lows were happening in my life, and I felt that all kinds of things were going wrong. All this stuff made me feel helpless and really sad. And when I told that to Markus [Dravs, her producer], he said, “Great, let’s shut you in the studio so you can let it all out.” And I said, “ok” and suddenly we were making an album… Every day, I took a 15-minute bike ride to the studio, and it was such a quiet way of working, I almost didn’t realize we were doing it.

How Big, How Blue, How…Huh?
The title comes from how exciting and boundless and magical things feel when they’re going right. When I was touring, I fell in love with every city I performed in. And even through the bad and the good, I come back to the feeling I had at the start of all this—life is boundless, with some messy stuff that throws you. But when you see a big blue sky, you can see that there’s always hope for more.
