Florence Welch & her band played four new songs off their upcoming fourth studio album.
At a pre-album release show in Los Angeles, Florence + The Machine previewed four new tracks off their latest album High as Hope, due out on June 29. At the intimate show at the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall, the band played singles “Sky Full of Song” and “Hunger,” in addition to two previously unheard songs.
Lead singer Florence Welch utilized the entirety of the flower-covered stage to reach out to fans throughout the 2,200-capacity concert hall. Barefoot and extended to the tips of her toes, Welch began the show with “Between Two Lungs” from her debut album, Lungs. Welch encouraged the composed audience to get on their feet as she danced her way through “Queen of Peace” and “Only If for a Night” prior to introducing the new material.
On the cusp of singing second single “Hunger,” Welch described her mixed feelings about releasing such an emotional song.
