Florence & The Machine: New Single 'Shake It Out' Is Like A Hangover Cure

Florence Welch has compared the band's writing process for new single 'Shake It Down' to that of a really 'good hangover cure'.

The single, 'Shake It Out', is the second song to be taken from from the Florence Welch-fronted band's forthcoming album 'Ceremonials'

Speaking about the track, Welch told XFM: "I wanted to just shake something out, shake out these regrets, shake out these things that haunt you. It was one of those songs that came in about half an hour and when you've got a hangover, it is almost like a hangover cure. You're like, thank you!"

She added: "I don't want everyone to think that I always write songs with a hangover! Cause I don't, I really don't. But with this one I have to say there was a bit of one lurking in my mind as I wrote it. It was like I was trying to write a hangover cure."

The album has been produced by Paul Epworth at Abbey Road studios in London. Epworth was behind Florence And The Machine's 'Cosmic Love', from their debut album 'Lungs'.

The iTunes Store lists the tracklisting for 'Ceremonials' is:

'Only If For The Night'

'What The Water Gave Me'
