Florence & The Machine joins host Raina Douris

You might scream if you’re frightened, but after going through a traumatic physical and emotional experience, Florence Welch wondered if she could find power in communal screaming. On the World Cafe, she talks about making the latest album from Florence + the Machine, called Everybody Scream, about digging into the history of witchcraft for inspiration and healing, and about the tension between the onstage self and the “normal self”.

Listen to the session here.
