Florist

"After Florist reverted to Sprague's solo project for the 2019 album Emily Alone, the band reunited for this self-titled effort of 19 songs recorded during rainy summer nights on a porch in the Hudson Valley. It plays like a family portrait, an ode to the nurturing power and comfort of their friendship. They preserve the warps, defects and background cricket choruses of June 9th Nighttime: the unpolished edges feel like the sound of a band falling in love with each other all over again".

"Best New Music" -"Recorded in a rented house in the Hudson Valley, and weaving together found sounds with spontaneous music-making, the quartet's self-titled album is as much an audio documentary as it is a folk album".

"With all the bandmembers credited on synths and three on guitars, it's never really obvious who is playing what here, but it doesn't seem to matter on an album so moving, immersive and mysterious, organic and otherworldly. Sprague and her bandmates hanging out on a porch upstate managed to make a record that delivers simple songs, artful sound exploration, deep emotions, and comfort all at once".
