Brooklyn-based band Florist will be performing at the Mr. Roboto Project this Saturday with like-minded female-fronted Pittsburgh groups, Fun Home and Chattel Tail. Florist comes from the greater Brooklyn-based arts collective known as the Epoch, which is associated with bands like eskimeaux, Frankie Cosmos, and LA’s Girlpool. Florist stays mellow and lo-fi with quiet moments of defeat/triumph in the hushed whispers from lead singer Emily Sprague. Each crackle and snap in recent release The Birds Outside Sang (Double Double Whammy) strip away any pretensions and give a documentarian feel, as if these are all fleeting moments compiled together in snapshot intimacy collectively showing the strength and weaknesses of Emily’s (and our) human spirit. Show starts early at 7pm. Listen to Florist below:
