If Blue Could Be Happiness is the second full length album from soft-synthesizer-folk band Florist. It was a resurrection back into the friendships, loving support, and musical collaboration that first started Florist. The second half of the album was recorded live by the whole band. It began with Emily, still recovering, writing and recording in isolation, able to play keyboard only with one hand, sing, and bang on things. The Birds Outside Sang started being written as one result of a severe bicycle accident that Emily was involved in on Feb 11th, 2014. Felix Walworth joined as a drummer and collaborator when Emily moved to New York City and continued writing songs with the moniker. The three started making weird sounds on synths and guitars together as a way to relate, and grew close. Florist began as the friendship project of Emily Sprague, Rick Spataro, and Jonnie Baker in Upstate, NY. ![]()
