Florence + The Machine have shared an electrically-acoustic cover of The Stooges classic hit, 'Search and Destroy.'

Matching the (aptly described) raw power of Iggy Pop's vocals is a nearly impossible feat, but if anyone can do it it's lead singer Florence Welch — who pays perfect homage to the rock icon with her '70s, folk-rock tinged vocals and dynamic instrumentation. It's a cover that absorbs the soul of the original (you can practically hear the echos of Iggy's 'ohs' behind Welches soaring runs) while still containing the patented Florence + The Machine stamp; swapping out shredded electric guitar for hammered on acoustic, heavy snare with rhythmic clapping.

The outfit released their fifth studio album Dance Fever to critical acclaim last week. Yesterday (May 18), they shared the deluxe edition of the record, which includes four acoustic renditions of songs off the LP and the cover of 'Search and Destroy,' the now-iconic track off of The Stooges 1973 album, Raw Power. 

Iggy Pop was such a presence on this record. From the tension of King, to the baritone growl of Restraint. We paid homage to him. ⚡️

"Iggy Pop was such a presence on this record," Welch wrote on twitter yesterday. "From the tension of King, to the baritone growl of Restraint. We paid homage to him."

Dance Fever (Deluxe) also includes acoustic versions of tracks 'Cassandra,' 'Free,' 'Morning Elvis' and 'My Love.'

"I was thinking about Nick Cave, I was thinking about Leonard Cohen. I was thinking about how, in some ways, although everyone undergoes huge changes, their physical bodies – especially moving through touring – have been allowed to remain unchanged and they can commit their body entirely to the stage," Welch described recently in an interview for Apple Music 1.

"[The song] came from a real conversation in a real kitchen, and then it went into this metaphysical archetypes world, and I think I was thinking about these male performers that I have idolised. In the singing, I’m trying to still embody them. In the lower baritones, I’m trying to do a Leonard or a Nick or an Iggy Pop."

Hot Press gave Dance Fever a 9 stars out of ten, writing: "After the brooding, ‘Restraint’ and the delicate ‘Daffodil’, the album concludes with the gently acoustic ‘Morning Elvis’. In it, Welch wrestles with her impulse to quit after each tour - but the fact is, her songs are like children begging to be born. The stage calls to her, and we’re eternally grateful she answers every time."
