Florence + The Machine have announced they will release a live album, Symphony of Lungs (BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall), digitally on Friday, October 25. The album will be out on vinyl and CD on March 14, 2025.
The album was recorded during the band’s performance with Jules Buckley and his Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall on September 11th to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their debut effort.
“I always thought maybe I would give my first album a long title. Under Heaven Over Hell (‘uh oh’ for short) was one idea,” Florence Welch said in a statement. “But, when I thought of Lungs, I knew it had to be that. This album is truly an exhalation and a gasp — a cacophony of ideas and influences. For things to get so big so fast on a debut album is both an unknowable blessing and a curse. You never know if the record (or the person) will survive it.”
She added, “To be able to go back to it, 15 years and five albums later, and have it still be so loved is the most extraordinary thing. Re-imagining it with Jules Buckley and his Orchestra was an act of enormous catharsis.”
