Review: Florence and the Machine – High As Hope
On Florence and the Machine’s fourth full-length LP, Florence Welch continues to experiment with expansive backing sounds of string compositions and begins to reflect on her life and relationships leading up to this moment. This album does not have too many up-tempo tracks at its disposal, and for the casual listener, it may come as a surprise that the singles do not stray too far from the rest of the content on this cohesive work of art. Personally, I felt the album would have benefited from an up-tempo rocker or two, to help balance the melancholy sounds found throughout these landscapes.
On the album opener, “June,” Welch sings, “The show was ending and I started to crack/Woke up in Chicago and the sky turned black/And you’re so high, you had to be an angel/I’m so high, I can see an angel.” As Welch opens up about her past drug use, it’s hard to not pull for her in her fight against addiction. “Hunger,” even finds Welch opening up about an eating disorder and uses relationship metaphors as well to describe her struggles. This track is one of the better and more personal pieces that she has composed at this point in her career.

Facebook Loses Over $110 Billion in Market Value
Todd Spangler, writing for Variety:
Shares of Facebook plunged more than 19% in early trading Thursday, as investors reacted to signs that the social-media giant’s user and revenue growth are significantly slowing down.
The stock drop, to its lowest levels in nearly three months, wiped out more than $110 billion in market capitalization for Facebook and dragged down other internet and tech stocks including Twitter and Snap. Facebook’s market cap was $629.6 billion at the close of market Wednesday, and stood at around $503 billion as of Thursday at 10:30 a.m. ET.
Ouch.
Anti-Flag “The Debate Is Over (If You Want It)” (Acoustic)
Anti-Flag have shared the acoustic version of “The Debate Is Over (If You Want It).” More on the acoustic album can be read over at Billboard:
The 10-song set features the quartet’s unplugged takes on seven tracks from its last two albums — 2015’s American Spring and 2017’s American Fall — as well as plugged-in covers of John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth,” Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” and Cheap Trick’s “Surrender,” which takes on a more expansive meaning in the context of the charged topical fare that precedes it.

The Interrupters Talk With Billboard
Chris Payne, writing for Billboard:
“She’s Kerosene” rose 25 percent in spins last week at alternative radio and currently sits at No. 32 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart, its peak position in three weeks on the tally. It just debuted on Rock Airplay (which covers all rock formats), so it’s certainly trending in the right direction. Contemporary alt radio doesn’t play much punk and is generally slow to play to female singers, across all genres. So why is there a decent chance your normie Facebook friends from high school will know this song by Labor Day? Allen (who goes by Aimee Interrupter now) and guitarist Kevin Bivona aren’t quite sure, but they’ve got wisdom to share.
That song is a bona fide hit and this album is really fun.
