“Cyano” out now with @rvngintl
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Cyano is out today ~~*!!

i am so excited to finally share this body of work in full. it was a brand new experience for me to make. for years and years i had music playing in my head with strange sounds, rhythms, and a familiar voice that was learning again to use words. it materialized into these songs during two cold winter months in 2025 where i was glued to my studio. Cyano is a very personal record because after 15 years of making music and “finding my voice”, i found myself realizing that the circle is always spinning. we will lose ourselves and find ourselves again and again, hopefully learning more each time. what an amazing feeling to be a beginner with hands holding the wisdom of the past. i love the part of emily who is a weird little alien. i love the part of this reality that will always remain unknown because that means there is always hope in the dark (read rebecca solnit!!). i love the capacity we all have to send and receive emotional transmissions. i love music and art and continuing to try try try.

there are lots of thoughts and themes in this record. instead of trying to explain what they all mean to me, i hope you will drop in with an open mind and an open heart, peering into the reflecting pools of yourself, your kin, your planet.

thank you for listening ♾️🌌🩵🔵 by @mlesprg

Hi ᯓ★ My new album “Cyano” will be released on October 2nd with @rvngintl. Listen/watch new single, “Sing To” out today ⊹ ࣪ ˖

~

all my life there’s been a strange part of me. a part that doesn’t feel it belongs in our world, or maybe isn’t really here at all. music is my favorite language to connect those disconnected worlds. my relationship to it is liquid. a lifelong friend, a guardian angel. i thank music for finding me.

to me cyano is a place that exists inside, and outside of us all. it’s a memory, dream, and awakening. it might be far away or nearby. doesn’t always fit with what we know. it may be how we grow closer, or how we fade. cyano is music that comes from someplace we can’t see. 

so much love and thanks to you all who listen and connect with these offerings of sound ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ i’m excited to continue to speak about and reveal more from this project that is very dear to me.

1. Double Moon
2. Garden Of Charms

✒️+ deeply resonant words written by @ivanna.jpg about the record:

In Cyano, Emily A. Sprague builds an intricate world, expanding a sonic register that is both familiar and viscerally new, reflecting the synthesist and composer’s internal register with mirrors to alternate realms. Cyano was conjured through ideas of an imagined planet whose inhabitants are rebuilding forbidden capacities for expressivity and emotional connection. An arc of faithful gestures, Cyano is meditation on visibility, psychic transformation, light transmission, and worlds beyond our knowing. It revels in configurations of connective possibility, where shadow and vision meet incisive truth.

As a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist, @mlesprg can be found fronting the indie folk band Florist, whilst her solo albums explore different shades of synthesised and ambient music. Her latest release, Cyano, is the first time her songwriting and ambient music have shared a space. She has described the record as inhabiting an imaginary sci-fi world: one character in this world is based on the botanist Anna Atkins, who in the mid-1800s began producing photographic prints called cyanotypes – white-on-blue images, a very early form of printed photograph, and the origin of the term ‘blueprint’. We spoke to Emily about Anna Atkins, and the inspiration she provided for the world-building behind Cyano - listen to the full interview and album on the Cantilever app. by @mlesprg

“around sprague’s voice, the electronics thin out then fan out around her, as though she’s finally taking the lead. like a cyanotype, cyano offers something between the maintenance of order and a surrender to nature: you can control the plant, the paper, and the strength of exposure, but you cannot control the sun”

“rising”, the final single from my new record Cyano is out today!!

the whole process of making this record was a practice of beginning again. i spoke to my younger self who was obsessed with making music and would stop at nothing to seek the magic it brings and continue down the path of art life. 15 years later i am learning to feel those feelings all over again. it is amazing how much there is to explore in this life. always feel like i’m just scratching the surface, always coming back around to the start of the circle.

Cyano comes out this friday with @rvngintl! it is a world in and of itself, and i am so excited for everyone to get to hear it in entirety. in the meantime enjoy this meditative jam. highly recommend zoning out to the visual made my @haddad_v while you listen. (more on the making of that gorgeous piece soon 🩵)

thanks so much for listening and dropping into strange inner worlds with me ~~**

see you on friday! 🌌 by @mlesprg

“rising” is the final meditation from emily a. sprague’s cyano, materializing this friday, october 2 (@mlesprg) ⟡⟡⟡

“rising” brings flickering rhythm to minimally variant phrases that permeate as they repeat and coil. sentiments interlock through images of night, faith, remembering—all incantatory, all hushed. emily’s vocals emerge as a whispered deliberation from the depths of static, as melody spills effortlessly to encompassing zones of deep green, palpable earth gloss. in a bright and muddled sweep, “rising” catches moss and rain and light, a refraction of intertwining symbols falling up

the track unwinds alongside another mesmerizing video from emily’s creative / life partner @haddad_v, channeling inspiration from the night sky and glitter into an “open and abstracted visual space that celebrates our relationship with the cosmos”

emily a. sprague’s cyano will be released this friday, october 2, 2026 in vinyl, cd, japanese cd import via @plancha_92104, and digital editions ✴︎˚˖⊹ ࣪

last month i had the honor of performing an ambient overture ahead of my dear friend jane’s (@janedoesnotknow) new film @welcometocampmiasma at the catskill, ny premiere @communitytheaterny. it was a night so full of joy, love and catharsis. jane’s voice is a critically important presence in media, hollywood, and pop culture. i am so proud to be a small part of their journey! 🩵🩵🩵

this was my first time ever performing right before a feature film — it was so much fun!! i hope to get to do more of this, and i encourage all you organizers out there to try it out sometime in your town. a fantastically wholesome and dynamic experience. the sleepy community theatre was fully alive this night. so much celebration and appreciation for art and kinship.

“noon liquid ore” is the next interdimensional transmission from emily a. sprague’s cyano 𖢻𖢻𖢻

“noon liquid ore” breaks cyano to a deconstructed pause, as industrial echoes meet chiming moods and glow breaks into concrete aperture. in sweeping textures and spontaneous gestures, emily’s sonic architecture melds into a restful mist, wonder emanating as it dissolves. gently epiphanic, “noon liquid ore” moves in circles, replacing air with vaster air, dispatches from distant planets

the single arrives alongside a visualizer crafted, as always, by emily’s creative and life partner @haddad_v, and news of another show this november in nyc at the @whitneymuseum for @durations.world. before then, she will share a stage with grouper (@grouperepuorg) at @townhallnyc on september 15, and appear at the @makingtimeisrad festival in philly, september 18-20

khotin’s remix of “sing to” (@dylankf) washes a scattered brightness over @mlesprg’s contemplative composition ⋆༄.°⋆

in polar complement to its original track, this remix re-organizes mood fields into palpable grandeur and re-threads the limits where soundscape meets song. melancholic patches are lifted into soft exuberance through a collage of flutes, percussive chimes, and radiant beats that meet the listener at the forefront of feeling

blending nostalgic timbres with new compositional considerations, khotin breaks open a space where inspiration and memory effortlessly merge, creating possibility beyond sound

“sing to (khotin remix)” is available now, glistening for you on all platforms. emily a sprague’s cyano will be released in its entirety on october 2, 2026, in vinyl, cd, japanese cd import via @plancha_92104, and digital editions 𖡼𖤣𖡼𖤣𖡼
