CRITIC REVIEWS

What’s left is not just bedroom-recorded confessional music, but pure introspection, confusion, revelation and emotion rubbed raw and exposed to the world.

Exclaim!

Emily Alone is a landmark LP, recorded swiftly to perfectly capture urgent beauty and raw authenticity in its purest forms.

Pitchfork

Her latest album as Florist grapples with change, death, and uncertainty with some of the most arresting songwriting of the year.

80
AllMusic

A devastating, unapologetically vulnerable set of 12 ruminative guitar and keyboard songs.

No Ripcord

Sprague's twelve compositions are spare, elegant but not too intricate.

(Analbumaday Day 182)

As nice as the vocalist’s singing is and charming the acoustic guitars are, this was really boring. Like, repetitive, lack of depth, heard it all before boring. I have no reason to come back to this album, but I can understand why people like it, it’s good for what it is.

NR

In a lot of ways a very plain and muted album - there’s something likeable about her approach to song writing though.

This delicate indie folk is meditative, comforting.

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Emily Sprague named her record as intimate as it is: ten beautifully intimate, composed tracks of solitude from her perspective as a singer and a songwriter, ever simple and reflective by nature. Varied and melodic, this is her most defined and cohesive work to date, captured with raw beauty and emotional resonance.

(analbumaday day 182) A nice album with a soothing performance. I really enjoyed the more spoken word parts of the album but the rest is also pretty solid.
