The album's opener premiered just now on Annie Mac's show as the Hottest Record In The World, and is available to stream below.

Explaining the track, Florence Welch said “I was thinking about my own self destructive side, and how you can make something only to tear it down, enjoy/destroy, create/devastate etc. When you're in that whirlwind, you often end up breaking the thing you love the most”.

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is released 1 June via Island. It is the follow up to 2011's Ceremonials. "Ship To Wreck" is released 25 May.
