{"product_id":"holdly-ep-10-year-anniversary-edition","title":"Holdly EP (10 Year Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlorist began in the Catskill Mountains as the friendship project of Emily Sprague, Rick Spataro, and Jonnie Baker, later joined by Felix Walworth. \u003cem\u003eHoldly\u003c\/em\u003e (2015) and \u003cem\u003eThe Birds Outside Sang \u003c\/em\u003e(2016) captured the earliest moments of that bond; hushed, homespun songs shaped equally by intimacy and resilience. The latter was written in the aftermath of Sprague’s near-fatal bike accident, beginning in solitude and concluding with the band’s return to each other, offering a portrait of healing, community, and the power of sound shared among friends. These recordings became cornerstones of Florist’s world: quiet yet expansive, deeply personal yet instantly connective. In the years since, Florist has carried those themes forward across four more full-lengths. \u003cem\u003eIf Blue Could Be Happiness\u003c\/em\u003e (2017) offered a meditation on grief and memory, while \u003cem\u003eEmily Alone \u003c\/em\u003e(2019) distilled Sprague’s voice into stark, solitary reflections before the band reunited for the expansive, self-titled \u003cem\u003eFlorist\u003c\/em\u003e (2022), a culmination of their collaborative spirit. Most recently, \u003cem\u003eJellywish\u003c\/em\u003e (2025) found the quartet embracing surrealism and possibility, holding both the magic and weight of existence at once. A decade on, the reissue of \u003cem\u003eHoldly\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Birds Outside Sang\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the origins of that journey, preserving the tenderness and friendship at Florist’s core while tracing the roots of a band that continues to evolve with wonder and care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Double Whammy","offers":[{"title":"LP - Blue Splatter","offer_id":55968058376523,"sku":"R4333-4218","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/201375086270.jpg?v=1763985535","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/holdly-ep-10-year-anniversary-edition","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
