Florist - Emily Alone (2019) FLAC

Emily Alone is a collection of songs made by Florist songwriter
Emily Sprague during a time of great
stillness and isolation with the self. An attempt to capture
the dark spaces between change and
acknowledge their beauty. It is a natural, isolated, and
momentary tangent away from the otherwise
collaborative project that is Florist, while still maintaining
the documentary nature of the band that, like
all things, is a mutable entity in this universe. These songs,
as they exist now, were born partly out of literal distance from
her bandmates on the east coast, and partly out of urgency to
translate an emotional moment.

Emily wrote and recorded all 12 tracks in her Los Angeles home
during the last, rainy months of 2018. After moving to
California from New York a year prior, Emily found herself in a
transformative time of self exploration and independence after
leaving the many lives she knew of as home on the east coast to
start on a new journey. Living alone and separate from many of
the things she once held most close, a deep dive into the dark
void of the mind began.

There is a metaphysical quality to the songs as they search for
meaning in existence, swaying between the mundane and the
spiritual. Emily believes deeply in the magic and connectedness
of all things. The album Emily Alone is the creation of a self
reflective lens through which we can view that omnipresence of
love and life and the energy of all things around us as well as
within us.
