Flora Hibberd

Flora Hibberd has delivered on her new album Mammoth, produced by Ben Lanz who’s known for work with The National, Beirut, and Sufjan Stevens. Mammoth highlights Hibberd’s off-kilter sensibility and playful arrangements using synths and brass and guest vocalists including Stevens and Kate Stables from This Is The Kit. I love Hibberd’s wordplay in lines like these, describing an object of fascination in the song ‘Perfect Ripple’: ‘The ribbon twisting and now I am a believer/ Orate orator we are stuck here in your aura.’ Now, that’s poetics; Nobel Prize-winner Anne Carson would love it. Flora Hibberd has a unique voice and she’s found a perfect frame for it.”

Moving into more grandiose, maximalist soundscapes, ‘Mammoth’ boasts lush, inviting compositions that highlight Hibberd’s stunning, rich vocals. What a charming, tenderhearted set of pop gems exploring the past, present, and liminal spaces in between.
