Release date: May 29, 2026
Synthesist and composer Emily A. Sprague bridges intuitive sonic structures and expressive songwriting, yielding expansive terrains that are immediate and immersive. From early experimentation with guitar and keyboard as a teen, Sprague went on to form indie band Florist in the early 2010s, gaining a devoted audience, before expanding to environmental / ambient compositions under her own name in 2017. Her releases include several albums across both projects, most recently Florist’s Jellywish and Cloud Time in 2025, and now, the Double Moon EP.
“Double Moon” traces psychic and tangible landscapes as parallel realms. Through incantatory repetition and diaphanous spills, Sprague cues an initiatic path with modular intricacy and lyrical foresight, featuring V Haddad’s translucid vocals. Through instinctual precision, “Double Moon” reveals sensorial breadth through visceral, scenic composition. Marked by patched gradients, frosted angles, and warm, melodic ripples, each sound revolves around the next, simultaneously appearing and vanishing across a gripping sonic arc. This track moves in iridescent subtlety—night’s color drawn across the sky, illuminating the silhouettes it renders possible.
Middle track, “Dusk (How to Fly),” true to its title, is a subtle and stirring experiment that evokes the day’s denouement, alongside an ephemeral sweep of sublimity, and the near possibility of flight. Transfixing in its reflective drift and glowing imagery, the track melds gently synthesized threads with a slow acoustic rush—a melody drifting in boundless directions. Guided by Sprague’s distinctive vocal cascade and epistolary threads, a lilting sequence weaves effortlessly from essential memory to vast emotional aperture, asking: How could we be here any other way? How do we feel anything at all?
“Double Moon (Andras Dub)” lends a brightened overlay to Sprague’s original composition, Australian producer Andrew Wilson, aka Andras and one half of Wilson Tanner, transforming the original track’s texture through low, radiant rhythms. Each bar springs and scatters to utter newness, revealing a prism of weather and echo, a glittering rain to daylight vapor. This dub is a fluidly iterative evolution—bringing both clearer focus to Sprague’s mesmeric songwriting and a spirited reset to the core melodic stretches of the song, entrusting vivid sound and synchronicity in its wake.
Double Moon marks a turning point for Sprague’s prolific composition, attuned to a deeper subtlety of expression and intricacy, inviting listeners to experience true sensorial immersion, both audial and ineffable. A limited 7” version will be made available from RVNG Intl. on May 29, 2026.
