Come April, Florist will release their new album Jellywish, which features already-released singles like "Have Heaven" and "This Was A Gift." Today, the New York folk crew are sharing the album's delicate closing track — "Gloom Designs" — plus a slew of North American tour dates in May.
Emily Sprague says of "Gloom Designs":
A mile marker in the sand. Thesis statement for Jellywish. Macro reckoning with living. At first looking inward at my own life story, then reflecting on what it means to be continuously sifting through the everyday towards death, the magic and horror, being tired, earthly desire, destruction, fear, hopelessness, appreciation, empathy, illusion, mundane, wish. Witnessing human evil. The whole history of us, the question mark for what comes next. Love for our planet Earth and the goodness that so many people still exert for it and for each other. Thinking. Finality but not finished.
Listen to "Gloom Designs" below.
