Florist put out a fantastic EP this year, and they’ve already got an LP lined up for next. “White Light Doorway” wouldn’t have sounded at all out of place on the all-too-short Holdly, so here’s hoping the upcoming The Birds Sang Outside is just as charming.
There’s a lot going on here, mostly positive (I see you back there, Warren Moon). Casablanca’s droll vocals can still be charming in the right context, and it’s nice to see Beth play something besides “brooding frontwoman”. But the best thing here is the song itself, a cover of a one-off collaboration between Lydia Lunch and early Danish punks Sort Sol.
