CRITIC REVIEWS
90
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.

Florist delicately captures the place and time in which it was born and then sets it free from Sprague’s cupped hands as something to behold as wondrous.

The Brooklyn quartet's self-titled fourth album finds them at their strongest and most hopeful
85
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.

Florist’s latest project stands as the culmination of previous collaborative and solo work, featuring the band as a whole at their most minimally precise; and Sprague, in terms of songwriting, vocal performances, and composition, at her most versatile and visionary.

On the next quiet summer evening you can find, spend an hour within the album. You may find that everything else just feels a million miles away.

As letras são envolventes, a produção é impecável. Meu único ponto de hesitação foram os numerosos interlúdios e algumas faixas que compartilham uma sonoridade similar, mas, superando isso, minha apreciação foi ... read more
Delicate, ambient, eerie yet warm, moments of beautiful levity and sorrow; this is an immersive comforting embrace of an album. Basically, it does everything it sets out to do perfectly well and feels like sitting in an armchair under a warm blanket during a snowy winter morning.
UNDERRATED. Such a lovely atmosphere, makes me joyful to experience the highs and lows

I was listening to this in class and somehow got all the way to 43 in what I thought was like 5 minutes. Idk whether I was just focused or this album is just that breezy. Probably both
