Florist Releases New Single For I Saw The TV Glow  

In anticipation for the release of A24’s film I Saw The TV Glow, they’ve given us Florist’s new single “Riding Around In The Dark.” 

The song features a warm acoustic track with melancholic vocals by lead singer Emily Sprague that lends itself to a song about the emotional waves of being a teenager in a small town. While the official soundtrack featuring Caroline Polachek, Barters Strange, and Sloppy Jane comes out May 10, fans can reminisce on their past lives in a deeply nostalgic way with Florist’s single above. 

Stay tuned for I Saw The TV Glow in theaters on May 3.
