Florist will embark on a spring 2025 North American tour starting on May 5 in Philadelphia. It will find them supporting their latest album, Jellywish, which is due out on April 4 via Double Double Whammy. The minimalist folk outfit have also shared a new single called “Gloom Designs”, and it finds the band excavating deep-seated insecurities, fears, and the legion of anxieties that can burden our hearts from one moment to the next. The song revolves and Emily Sprague’s fragile, crystalline voice and the tremulous plucks of an acoustic guitar, forever spiraling around one another in a mutualistic relationship where each moment feels more profound than its predecessor.
Sprague says of the song: “A mile marker in the sand. Thesis statement for Jellywish. Macro reckoning with living. At first looking inward at my own life story, then reflecting on what it means to be continuously sifting through the everyday towards death, the magic and horror, being tired, earthly desire, destruction, fear, hopelessness, appreciation, empathy, illusion, mundane, wish. Witnessing human evil. The whole history of us, the question mark for what comes next. Love for our planet Earth and the goodness that so many people still exert for it and for each other. Thinking. Finality but not finished.”
