Florist Announce New Album ‘Jellywish’ & Share Dreamy ‘Have Heaven’ Single

New York City-based folk quartet Florist detailed a new album, Jellywish, arriving on April 4 via Double Double Whammy. The group previewed the record with the single, “Have Heaven.”

Florist’s fifth studio album, Jellywish follows the band’s 2022 self-titled LP. Florist — Emily Sprague, Rick Spataro, Jonnie Baker and Felix Walworth — previously shared the Jellywish track, “This Was A Gift.”

Florist lead vocalist and primary songwriter Emily Sprague detailed the band’s upcoming album, described in press materials as “a world where magic, surrealism, and the supernatural are our companions in day-to-day life.”

“It’s a gentle delivery of something that is really chaotic, confusing, and multifaceted,” Sprague stated. “It has this technicolor that’s inspired by our world and also fantasy elements that we can use to escape our world… in a time that feels evermore prescriptive, limiting, and awful.”

The second Jellywish preview, “Have Heaven,” arrived with a music video helmed by animator Kohana Wilson, who gave insight into the accompanying visual:

“We enter an observational fever dream about floating through liminal space between lifetimes, individual perceptions. There is reflection on our connectedness in joy and suffering through the wish for a peaceful place for our spirits to live and land. ‘Have Heaven’ establishes the world of the album to be not quite always lucid, but rather a perspective that is blended into the worlds of the magic and death realms swirling around us. The chorus is a chant that pleads for a better symbiosis between these worlds, and between our earthly forms trying to survive alongside each other, bound to the systems we must exist within.”
