Florist’s If Blue Could Be Happiness is available for pre-order now and due out September 29 via Double Double Whammy. It is both a goodbye to a past life and a declaration of great love to a new one. A long mourning song for the death of a mother, and a quiet celebration of the endless struggle that is being alive. It was recorded by the band in an Upstate New York schoolhouse very near to where songwriter Emily Sprague spent her childhood and where the band originated.
Florist are going on tour this fall with Pinegrove and Lomelda. All dates below.
