Who Is The Love And Who Is The Knife

Our adoration for Florence & The Machine is well known, her shows are intense affairs and her recorded output to date has been nothing short of solid gold. The video for her forthcoming single has now dropped, and what an incredible affair it is. Taken from the A Lot of Love A Lot of Blood EP out on 9/6/09, Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) is an orchestral strike to the heart of pop, all shimmering strings and wrenching crescendos. Florence's vocals soar over the top of the mix as on her previous singles, but this time it's Paul Epworth giving them those production wings, and my god does it show. The vocals themselves are pretty vague, something about sacrificing a rabbit, but does it really matter? Welch succeeds by coming across as the weird girl that probably ate worms at nursery, cut her own hair at primary, and wrote poems on herself in college. Hopefully her album will be stuffed full of more superb material like this and we can all look forward to a slightly off-kilter pop masterpiece.
