Florist – Gloom Designs

Today, New York minimalist folk quartet Florist announce a spring 2025 North America Tour alongside the release of “Gloom Designs,” the closing track from their recently announced new album, Jellywish, out April 4th on Double Double Whammy.

Of the song, band leader Emily Sprague says “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.”

Pre-sales for the tour go on sale on Weds, Feb 12th at 10 am local time via Spotify Fans First with general on-sale starting Fri, February 14 at 10 am local time.
