The band formed in Paris in 2008 but have been based in London, UK, since 2011.[1] They've been described as "shape-shifting pop blend[ing] folk melodies, electro beats and exotic rhythms".[2] Their debut album, Towards, was released on 5 May 2014. Their second album, Overseas, was released on 15 June 2018. HistoryThe band was formed in 2008 in Paris by then-literature-students Michael Liot (vocals, strummed instruments) and Fabienne Débarre (vocals, keyboards, xylophone). They were very quickly joined by William Serfass (vocals, percussions, bass, electric guitar). After releasing two self-produced EPs (We Were Evergreen, Flings) in France, they moved to London where they released a third EP, Leeway. Since then, they have toured with the likes of Metronomy, Goldfrapp, Slow Club, King Charles, Michael Kiwanuka and Villagers. 2014 saw them play at Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds and Lovebox, among other festivals, as well as Solidays in France and Parkpop in the Netherlands. We Were Evergreen wrote and recorded the soundtrack to 2013 French film Fonzy.[3] The Michael Creange and WEKEED remix of their song "Baby Blue" was featured in Kim Chapiron's film La Crème de la Crème as well as in the launch video for the Nokia Lumia 625. After changing their name to Evergreen, the band released their second album Overseas in June 2018. Featuring songs both in French and English, the album tackles the themes of borders, identity and language, with the sea as a central motif. DiscographyEP
Albums
Towards was released on 5 May 2014 by Island Records in the UK and Because Music in France, Belgium and Switzerland. It was recorded and mixed in Brixton's Iguana Studios, with Charlie Andrew (producer of Alt-J, Sivu and Marika Hackman). The album was described as "smart pop that keeps its charm" (Clash),[6] "considered but playful" (The 405),[7] "a sublime, varied LP that’s a perfect accompaniment to the impending sun-pecked skies" (music OMH).[8] The first three singles from the album were 'Daughters', 'False Start' and 'Best Thing'. The video for 'Daughters', directed by Dominique Rocher, is a take on the Danaids myth based on overlapping choreography, and shot in a single take as well as a single room.[9] "Towards" was released on December 2d, 2014 in the USA via Minty Fresh. "Overseas" was released on June 15th, 2018 by Because Music. It was recorded in Ramsgate, UK and produced / mixed by Ash Workman (producer of Christine & The Queens and Metronomy). Singles
