Ahead of the new album Jellywish, out this Friday, April 4th on Double Double Whammy, New York minimalist folk quartet Florist release 'Jellyfish', the final single from their anticipated LP. Of the song, band leader Emily Sprague says “‘Jellyfish’ is presented as an upbeat song with a darker undertone of frantically wondering how doomed we really are, what our lifetimes may bring, and what we can do about it. It marvels at the mysteries of our world while also mourning the destruction of so much of it by the hands of humans. ‘Jellyfish’ draws a connecting line between our very minds and the natural world, attempting to establish an important theme of this song and record which is: rethinking what is normalised so we can be more symbiotic with each other and the Earth. The song ends its musing with a reminder to the listener of our power centers, that we are deserving of happiness and love: ‘destroy the feeling you are not enough’. This is mirroring an earlier lyric: ‘destroy everything on earth’, which is an observation of how things seem to be, but shouldn't have to be, and must be challenged.” Take a listen for yourselves below.
