Background and promotion

On 3 July 2025, the band began hinting at a new record when singer Florence Welch shared a carousel of images on her Instagram. The images showed Welch working with Idles guitarist Mark Bowen, and included mentions of themes, such as "witchcraft, folk horror, mysticism, magic, poetry [and] insanity". [1] Another image depicted a whiteboard featuring various words and phrases, including "you can have it all", "clarity = power", and "Swans vs Adele". [2]

On 11 August, Welch began posting more cryptic teasers, including a short video of herself in a red dress digging a hole in a field before screaming into it. [3] The album was officially announced on 19 August 2025, with a release date of 31 October 2025, coinciding with Halloween. [4] The cover art features a fisheye-lens shot of Welch lying on a bed in a wooden setting, wearing a black-and-white outfit. [5] The following day, the title track was released as the album's lead single. [6]

The album, which follows on from 2022's Dance Fever was created during and inspired by a time of healing and discovering the body's limits for Welch, who underwent life-saving surgery during 2023's Dance Fever Tour. Because of this, Welch told Zane Lowe during an interview that she feels Everybody Scream is her most personal Florence and the Machine album to date. She also mentioned the project's title coming from the idea of celebratory screaming and her exploration of why people would be screaming and the emotions and reasons associated with such a physical and emotional act. [7]

Release

Following the announcement, pre-orders went live for vinyl, CD and cassette editions, including several variants. [8] The album is set to feature twelve tracks. [9] Deluxe editions on CD and vinyl will include additional "chamber versions" of four tracks. [10]
