Florence + The Machine debut new song and video for Big God

June 21, 2018

The emotional conviction that Florence Welch gives in her delivery combined with the brilliance of Isabella “Machine” Summers and the production of Paul Epworth has made for one of my favorite albums of all time. I wanted to give Sumerian Bands the platform to re-invent these songs and to hopefully bring great music to new ears all over the world who may have otherwise never experienced [Read More]
