Husband-and-wife duo Flora Cash craft atmospheric indie folk born from a cross-Atlantic courtship. They released a string of EPs before their first official full-length, 2017’s Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine), which was home to their breakthrough alternative smash hit “You’re Somebody Else.” Kicking off the 2020s, they released a pair of LPs in quick succession, Baby, It’s Okay followed by Our Generation. In 2012, the duo met on an online social sound platform and struck up a musical connection, leading Shpresa Lleshaj to travel from Stockholm to Minneapolis to meet Cole Randall in person. They returned to Sweden together and immediately began work as Flora Cash. Their debut EP, Mighty Fine, was released just months later. The next year, they issued another set of harmonious tracks on Made It for You. Flying back to Minneapolis, the couple got married and honeymooned in Los Angeles before returning to Europe in 2014. Their third EP, I Will Be There, was released that year. After signing with Icons Creating Evil Art, they issued a mini-LP, Can Summer Love Last Forever, in 2016. The mini-LP was nominated for two GAFFA awards as Swedish Group of the Year and Swedish Breakthrough. They also performed on-stage with artists like Miss Li and Raleigh Ritchie.
Containing ten tracks of raw relationship insight set against their ethereal production, Flora Cash’s official debut album, Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine), arrived in the spring of 2017. The record spawned the hit “You’re Somebody Else,” which peaked in the Top Ten on Billboard’s Alternative Songs and Adult Alternative Songs airplay charts. On the heels of the group’s success, they signed to BEE and El/RCA Records. Following an extensive tour, they returned in 2019 with the Press EP, which featured the single “They Own This Town.” “Missing Home” appeared later that year, eventually landing on their 2020 sophomore set, Baby, It’s Okay, a full-length that also featured “Born in the Slumber” from the Death Stranding: Timefall soundtrack. Another LP, Our Generation, was released just a year later. Singles from the set — the streaming hit “Soul Mate” and “Don’t You Look at Me That Way” — received orchestral reworkings in 2022. ~ Neil Z. Yeung, Rovi
