At the start of Season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the main character has to dig herself out of her own grave after being violently brought back from the dead. Afterwards she walks through riot-strewn streets of fire, disorientated and bleeding, asking: ‘Is this hell?’ The rest of the season she spirals into crippling depression, apathy and a self-destructive relationship.

Florence Welch considered calling her last album ‘Season 6’ in honour of that arc, so much did she see herself in Buffy’s struggle. During her last tour Florence suffered a broken foot on stage, before losing her unborn child and nearly dying with complications of that ectopic pregnancy. Hell and back doesn’t even begin to cover it.
