Florist - The Birds Outside Sang (10th Anniversary Edition)

Florist began in the Catskill Mountains as the friendship project of Emily Sprague, Rick Spataro, and Jonnie Baker, later joined by Felix Walworth.

The Birds Outside Sang (2016) captured the earliest moments of that bond; hushed, homespun songs shaped equally by intimacy and resilience. The latter was written in the aftermath of Sprague’s near-fatal bike accident, beginning in solitude and concluding with the band’s return to each other, offering a portrait of healing, community, and the power of sound shared among friends. These recordings became cornerstones of Florist’s world: quiet yet expansive, deeply personal yet instantly connective.

A decade on, the reissue of The Birds Outside Sang highlights the origins of their journey, preserving the tenderness and friendship at Florist’s core while tracing the roots of a band that continues to evolve with wonder and care.
