Singer speaks about the new album and the inspiration behind the name.
Florence Welch, lead singer of Florence and the Machine, has revealed the title of the band's forthcoming album and explained the thinking behind it.
In an interview with BBC 6 Music she stated that the new disc will be called Lungs and will feature a song with a similar name, called Between Two Lungs.
The artist told the news provider that the group is trying to think of acronyms for it, such as Living Under New Great Sadness, and also talked about why the name was chosen.
"When you're a singer it's all about controlling your lungs and they become part of your body's machinery. It's all about controlling your air and they're so central to singing," Florence said.
She also revealed that fans will be able to get their hands on the record in June.
Florence and the Machine recently finished third in the BBC's Sound for 2009 music list.
