For all of June of 2019, amid a hot and rainy summer, Emily Sprague (guitar, synth, vocals), Jonnie Baker (guitar, synth, sampling, bass, saxophone, vocals), Rick Spataro (bass, piano, synth, vocals) and Felix Walworth (percussion, synth, guitar, vocals) convened in a rented house in the Hudson Valley, to live and work together. It was the first time the quartet recorded that way, and for that long. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In the past we'd meet up for a couple of days, or one day here and there,\" Sprague recalls. \"Living together for a month is a really big part of why the arrangements are the way they are, and also why the instrumentals are such a huge part of the record.\" The result is 19 tracks that feel like the culmination of a decade-long journey, their fourth full-length album, but the first deserving of a self-titled designation. \"We called it \u003ci\u003eFlorist \u003c\/i\u003ebecause this is not just my songs with a backing band,\" Sprague explains. \"It's a practice. It's a collaboration. It's our one life. These are my best friends and the music is the way that it is because of that.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePackaging: 2LP \"Deep Purple\" Vinyl, Gatefold Jacket [w\/ download card]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Double Whammy","offers":[{"title":"Purple | LP | x2","offer_id":50484324893003,"sku":"1159351","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50484324303179,"sku":"1159352","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b2266aba-f97e-41bb-9fbd-de974fc68e6e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727588462"},{"product_id":"jellywish","title":"Jellywish","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJellywish\u003c\/i\u003e is the fifth record from NY based indie folk quartet Florist, via Double Double Whammy. \u003ci\u003eJellywish\u003c\/i\u003e sees a departure of Florist's former foray into meandering soundscapes and improvisational tendencies of their previous self-titled album, instead embracing shorter stripped back song structures and an emphasis on melody.
