Last night at Polaris Hall, New York-based folk quartet Florist delivered a spellbinding performance that brought their latest album, Jellywish, vividly to life. Against the backdrop of soft lighting and an intimate crowd, Emily Sprague and her bandmates offered a set that felt more like a spiritual offering than a traditional concert.

Performing songs like “Have Heaven,” “This Was A Gift,” and “Gloom Designs,” the band moved through their delicate soundscapes with reverence and grace, drawing the audience into the surreal, reflective world that Jellywish so carefully constructs. Sprague’s vocals, soft but deliberate, carried the emotional weight of lyrics that wrestle with life, death, and the fragile beauty of the everyday.

Visually and sonically, the night echoed the album’s multidimensional artwork — mysterious, lush, and steeped in myth. It was less a performance and more an invitation to pause, listen, and imagine. In a culture driven by speed and spectacle, Florist reminded us of the power of stillness and subtlety.
