Wikipedia article
"'Moderation'" is a song by British band Florence and the Machine, released as a single on 24 January 2019 through Virgin EMI Records. The digital release includes the B-side "Haunted House". It is the band's first new material since their June 2018 album 'High as Hope'.
Background
"Moderation" was debuted during a concert in early January 2019.
Critical reception
"Moderation" was called a "huge, cinematic stomper with gospel handclaps and a gigantic Florence Welch vocal performance at its center" by 'Stereogum', while "Haunted House" was described as "restrained" in contrast to "Moderation", as well as "softer and more tender". Jon Blistein of 'Rolling Stone' called the songs "brazen", further writing that "Moderation" is a rumbling piano-driven tune" about Welch confronting a "tepid lover", and "Haunted House" is about Welch "tackling the voices that keep her up late at night over a sparse arrangement that swells into a jittery blend of piano, drums and backing vocals". 'Consequence of Sound' called "Moderation" a "rousing number", while "Haunted House" was labelled "spooky 'and' sad". 'Billboard' said "Moderation" "starts with a bang, a rousing intro", and that "Haunted House" "reveals Welch's somber side, with a tender piano accompanying Welch's lilting voice".
