Universal Music Australia is thrilled to confirm the long awaited sophomore LP from one of the most groundbreaking new artists to emerge in recent history.

Since the remarkable reaction to Florence + The Machine’s teaser track ‘What The Water Gave Me’ which was released late last month, Florence is pleased to announce full details of her highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Ceremonials’. The LP will be released especially for Australian fans on Friday October 28, 2011 – a special treat given it’s in advance of the international album release date of Halloween (Oct 31) in Florence’s home town UK. The beautiful album features the confirmed lead single ‘Shake It Out’ along with the spine tingling taster track ‘What The Water Gave Me, which Florence leaked to fans last month.
