Oct 1, 2025The album unfolds like whispered revelations amongst close friends.
-
Apr 8, 2025Her lyrics mostly return to subjects she has revisited so many times that, on Jellywish, she also reflects on her weariness of talking about them: grief, death, and mortality. Here, though, even these topics are part of the record’s life-affirming warmth.
-
Apr 7, 2025Jellywish includes some of her most intimate work. As a listener, it’s as if you’re being privately serenaded during an exquisite chemical sunset.
-
UncutApr 7, 2025The record prompts leaning in, not least of all for the gentle, cantering insistence of "Have Heaven" and "Our Hearts In A Room", with its soft piano and brush work. [Apr 2025, p.29]

Apr 7, 2025The production is lightly touched, but the record leans greatly into Florist’s best asset: Sprague’s confessional songwriting. While some of the verses get jumbled in her stream-of-consciousness style, the stories still disarm, ache, and impress.
-
Apr 9, 2025Musically, Jellywish follows an understated path. The adept finger picking of “Levitate” gives way to gently insistent toms on “Have Heaven,” along with Sprague’s soft playground patter of a chorus.
-
Apr 21, 2025The album’s consistent tempo and tone end up making Jellywish feel strangely longer than its concise 34-minute runtime. But, when the band cuts loose a little, such as the lead guitar breaks on “This Was A Gift” and “All the Same Light,” it’s tantalizing to imagine where Jellywish may have ventured given more of a loose rein and a sense of adventure.
