As announced by producer Paul Epworth, Florence and the Machine (aka singer/songwriter Florence Welch and her ever changing band) have finished the follow-up to debut album Lungs.

Says Epworth via Twitter: “Had a week of wonderful mixes coming in for Florence 2. I love handing something over to hear it come back better. I feel for the a&r dept having to try and whittle these tracks down to 10 or 12 because there really are no weak ones.”

No word yet on a release date or tracklist. However Epworth hinted to BBC 6Music that the new material might mark a bit of sea change for the redheaded belter, saying “It’s a lot less indie and lot more soulful.”

Don’t despair indie kids, as it appears Welch has managed to maintain her off-beat charm. The tweet-happy Epworth went on to add, “It’s a weird record that sounds live in ways and like a machine in others, with sensitivity and power from both the music and Flo‘s voice.”
