Interesting title, I wonder what it means. The titles are so promising, like Ship to Wreck and Third Eye sound so good! give me the album now
The most obvious interpretation would be it being a reference to eyes but knowing Florence I think it is about the ocean since she seems quite obsessed with it.

I guess although I’ve always dealt in fantasy and metaphor when I came to writing, that meant the songs this time were dealing much more in reality. Ceremonials was so fixated on death and water, and the idea of escape or transcendence through death, but the new album became about trying to learn how live, and how to love in the world rather than trying to escape from it. Which is frightening because I’m not hiding behind anything but it felt like something I had to do.

The album was produced by Markus Dravs (Björk, Arcade Fire) and features arrangements from Goldfrapp's Will Gregory. Paul Epworth, Kid Harpoon, and John Hill also worked on the album.

so wait that is or isn't the official cover? what's this placeholder business?
If you go to the FATM store to pre-order the album there's a note that says "Box Set Image Not Final" so we know that at least the box set will have a different cover. It may or may not be the same case with the standard and deluxe editions.
Also, it only says "Florence" on the cover. No Machine?
“The trumpets at the end of that song—that’s what love feels like to me. An endless brass section that goes off into space. And it takes you with it. You’re so up there. And that’s what music feels like to me. You want it just to pour out endlessly, and it’s the most amazing feeling.”
This makes me think HBHBHB is indeed a reference to the sky, rather than the ocean.
