Review

Emily Sprague and her band Florist created a gentle masterpiece with 'If Blue Could Be Happiness' in 2017. This second full-length album is a soothing balm for the soul, weaving together sparse guitar melodies and the occasional ethereal synth from an Organelle. The result is a sonic sanctuary that feels both grounding and uplifting.

Sprague's lyrics are deceptively simple, yet they cut straight to the heart of human experience. Songs like 'Glowing Brightly' and 'The Fear of Losing This' explore the complex interplay of grief, anxiety, and hope with a raw honesty that's hard to ignore. There's a resilience running through these tracks, a quiet strength that whispers of healing even in the darkest moments.

The album's carefully crafted atmosphere is enhanced by unexpected touches, like the mournful trombone in 'Understanding Light'. These earthy elements add depth to the predominantly acoustic soundscape, creating a listening experience that's both isolating and oddly comforting. 'If Blue Could Be Happiness' isn't just about sadness - it's about finding beauty in the struggle and peace in the quiet moments. - Aria
