Florist’s new album, Jellywish, invites listeners into a world where magic, surrealism, and the supernatural become everyday companions, challenging the bleakness of modern life. Through introspective and complex songwriting, Emily Sprague explores profound questions about breaking free from routine and finding true happiness. The album’s gentle yet chaotic nature combines fantasy elements with real-world reflections, creating an intimate and disarmingly honest listening experience. Jellywish is a delicate balance of confessional storytelling and imaginative escapism, offering a poetic reflection on the possibility of liberation and fulfillment amid life’s uncertainties.

They are by no means plastic stars! This episode features the debut album of Cash & Skye. They are a dreamy indie-pop duo blending nostalgic melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and intimate harmonies with cinematic flair. Plus a big dash of country. Highly Recommended. I also pay honour to late, great David Thomas.

We feature an exceptional record from Luther Russell, his first solo album since 2019’s “Medium Cool”. Happiness For Beginners features 10 jangled-out guitar driven love songs. It’s certainly a jangly dream that’s been delivered. Luther is one half of the duo Those Pretty Wrongs along with Jody Stephens /Big Star.. Highly Recommended.

In this special episode of 1234, I pay tribute to the musicians and producers who died in 2024.
