_ ‘I think music should be scary,” says Florence Welch. “Music is an exorcism.” The 25-year-old South London art-school dropout entered the music scene in 2009 with Lungs, the smash-hit debut album from her band, Florence and the Machine. With rousing, dramatic songs, two million album sales, and a stage presence often described as possessed, Florence was embraced as a free-spirited, worldwide star. Over the past two years she’s toured nonstop, won Brit Awards, and performed at both the 2011 Grammys and the Oscars. Here, she talks to Lisa Robinson about her sophomore album (Ceremonials, recorded at Abbey Road Studios and out this month), fashion, alcohol, and music.
