Album Of The Week: Florist Emily Alone

Florist-Emily-Alone

The album's title is factually correct. Florist are a band. They've been a band since 2013. They've released two albums as a band. And yet Emily Alone, Florist's third album, is not the work of a band. It's entirely the work of one woman. Emily Sprague, the leader of Florist, recorded Emily Alone by herself in her Los Angeles home. She wrote every song on the album, played every instrument on the album, produced the album, and even did most of the album's mixing. Sprague releases ambient music under her own name, but she's releasing Emily Alone as a Florist album. So that album title is a simple truth. You should not go into Emily Alone expecting to hear the work of Florist, the band whose past two albums you may have enjoyed. That's not this. This is something else.
