Two years on, I still can’t get enough of Florence + The Machine‘s debut LP, Lungs, finding it utterly transcendent and worthy of continued spins. I don’t know from what otherworldly source Florence Welch summons her voice, but it’s one I absolutely love getting lost in.

With Florence + The Machine’s sophomore album due in November, there are few releases I’m looking forward to more. I’m particularly excited that Paul Epworth (Adele, Friendly Fires) is behind the board for the set’s entirety, as he produced my favorite track on Lungs, “Cosmic Love.”

“The way that “Cosmic Love” turned out really made me want to do the whole next record with him,” Welch tells Pitchfork. “That song was written in like half an hour in a tiny bedroom studio and I always had this idea for a really big sound coming from all that clatter, and he managed to capture that on record in the best way.”

Today, we got our first taste of the new untitled release. “What The Water Gave Me” strikes all the familiar Flo notes (ye olde harp is present and accounted for), but there’s a welcome new earthiness to the band’s sound this time around. The presence of Hammond organ is, of course, a shortcut to such grounding, but has ’90s electric guitar (particularly toward the track’s end) ever sounded so soulful?

Named after a painting by Frida Kahlo, “What The Water Gave Me” takes lyrical inspiration from Virginia Woolf’s watery demise: “Lay me down / Let the only sound be the overflow / Pockets full of stones. While self-drowning is a giant downer, the music video for “What The Water Gave Me” is bursting-at-the-seams ebullient, as we witness Welch and her crew making studio magic. She sings, she grins, she dances. Paul Epworth, um, moves a bit.
