We Were Evergreen

Parisian trio We Were Evergreen were born in 2008, after a new year's resolution that, for once, actually stuck. Brought together by a shared fondness for all kinds of pop music and nursery rhymes, they tell stories of small trees growing too fast, of yodelling yaks and children flying south for the winter: stories of adolescence, of things lost, then found –then lost again. There's a naïve freshness to their toy-like instruments, and their mellow-yet-uplifting choruses will inevitably get caught in your brain – just throw in some live sampling, a lot of percussions and a dash of electro, and you'll find your hands and feet joining in too.

The Fly magazine: “We Were Evergreen are like the Michael Cera of the French music world. There’s no denying it’s a summer-styled song to fall in love with when life is indeed ‘belle”.
