Florence + The Machine Releases Darker Sixth Album 'Everybody Scream' on Halloween

Welch presents a live-built folk-horror vision, preparing for a February 2026 tour with intensive physio.

Overview

  • The frontwoman likens the record to a horror film, drawing on themes of magic, medicine and witchcraft.
  • She links the creative turn to an ectopic pregnancy scare and finishing a Coachella set with a broken foot.
  • The title track was crafted for the stage and is positioned for the forthcoming world tour.
  • Songs blend 1970s garage rock and grunge with medieval textures, including a choir on “Drink Deep.”
  • Despite its darker framing, the album is presented as atmospheric yet accessible pop and rock.
