Abbey Road Studios for Florence and the Machine

Florence and the Machine are set to begin recording their new album later this spring, guitarist Ackroyd has confirmed. 

Speaking to Gibson.com, he revealed that the band is planning to work at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London:

"Work on the second album has begun with Paul Epworth and there is talk of booking out Abbey Road for a month in April/May to record, which is nice."

This new offering will be the band's follow up to their 2009 4 times Platinum album 'Lungs'. Lead vocalist Florence Welch is set to perform at the Oscars later this month and guitarist Ackroyd also explained that their musical preferences are often different:

"Florence's and my taste in music often overlap in harmonious fashion; we're both big fans of hip-hop and American indie."

"But she's also a big fan of unadulterated pop music, which cuts through me like a knife."
