Emily Alone is the third record by folk band Florist, released through Double Double Whammy on 26 July 2019 . Although Florist is a collaborative project, the record was written and recorded solely by Florist member Emily A. Sprague, who also has ambient solo music released under her own name. [1]
Sprague grew up in New York, and Florist were originally based in Brooklyn, where they released their first two albums in 2016 and 2017 on Double Double Whammy. [2] [3] In 2017 Sprague moved across the country to Los Angeles, in response to what she described as a need "to go somewhere drastically different to discover new parts of myself." [4] In California she started recording ambient music, and releasing it as a solo artist. [5]
Sprague recorded Emily Alone at her home in LA in the winter of 2018. [2] [4] She told Stereogum that she was "incredibly depressed for the first six months to a year that I lived [in LA]. Writing the album was the thing that finally was the culmination of all those feelings, the thing that finally released it all." [4]
