{"product_id":"florence-the-machi-how-big-how-blue-h-vinyl","title":"Florence + The Machi - HOW BIG, HOW BLUE, H ((Vinyl))","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe much-anticipated third studio long-player from Florence Welch and her mechanically inclined companions, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful arrives after a period of recalibration for the spirited English songtress. Arriving three-and-a-half years after 2011's well-received Ceremonials, the 11-track set, the first Florence + the Machine album to be produced by Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Coldplay), eschews some of the bombast and water- and death-fixated metaphors of Lungs and Ceremonials in favor of a more restrained sonic scope and an honest reckoning with the dark follies of your late twenties. This change is most notable on the workmanlike opener \"Ship to Wreck,\" a shimmering, open road-ready folk-rock rumination on the ambiguity\/inevitability of post-fame self-destruction that, unlike prior first cuts like \"Dog Days Are Over\" and \"Only If for a Night,\" feels firmly rooted in the now. The bluesy (and ballsy) \"What a Man,\" the propulsive and purposeful \"Delilah,\" and the gorgeous title track impress the most. Instead of building to a fevered crescendo, as is the Flo-Machine way, the latter cut, a transcendent, slow-burning, chamber pop gem, dissolves into a simple and elegant, yet still goose-bump-inducing round of horns, and is breathtaking without knocking the wind out of you. ~ James Christopher Monger\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453997850968,"sku":"VCSXFJ-ZLBI-00","price":7.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/florence-the-machi-how-big-how-blue-h-vinyl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
