The 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". We Were Evergreen wrote and recorded the soundtrack to 2013 French film "Fonzy". Discography. 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), "considered but playful  (The 405), a sublime, varied LP that's a perfect accompaniment to the impending sun-pecked skies" (music OMH). 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.
