Florist Announce Jellywish, Share “Have Heaven”
The Brooklyn-based quartet’s next album is out April 4 via Double Double Whammy. See details below.

No, that’s not a typo: The title of Brooklyn-based folk band Florist’s next album—announced today and due for release April 4 via Double Double Whammy—is Jellywish. The record’s whimsical name directly reflects its songs, celestial-folk musings on life’s biggest questions that blur the dreamlike and day-to-day. “It’s a gentle delivery of something that is really chaotic, confusing, and multifaceted,” singer-songwriter Emily Sprague said of the album in a press release. “It has this technicolor that’s inspired by our world and also fantasy elements that we can use to escape our world.”
Jellywish comes two years after Florist’s (Sprague and bandmates Rick Spataro, Jonnie Baker and Felix Walworth) eponymous effort, which Matt Mitchell wrote was “its own climate, a true suite of compositions that balance each other out and are full of bursting potential, but never overstay their welcome.” But this new material is not the sprawling, 19-song release that Florist was. Jellywish is a 10-piece project, teased in late 2024 via the single “This Was a Gift,” which we named one of the best songs of the week in October.
Coinciding with the album announcement, Florist have shared the entrancing lead single “Have Heaven” and an accompanying music video, animated by Kohana Wilson. Sprague’s gossamer vocals float atop a soft wash of hypnotic acoustic guitar strums—which sound almost harp-like—as effortlessly graceful as leaves skimming the top of a pond. Their loping, stream-of-consciousness narration oscillates between the physical (“took a long breath in the middle of a town, found myself in a body”) and the imagistic (“there was a long fragment of light coming from the baby’s eyes, from the mother’s sigh”), not so much building as flowing into the song’s decisive conclusion: “We could have a heaven.” Only a voice as mesmerizing as Sprague’s could so easily convince you of that possibility.
