Flora Hibberd - Orinoco Books

The music of Flora Hibberd is an arrow to the heart, an entangled mass of image and illusion. Born in London, she has called Paris home since the age of eighteen. As likely to veer into guitar or synth-driven pop as to take up a 17th century traditional, the songs pulse with surreal allusions and mundane emotions: everyday life is full of cosmic signs. Hibberd’s songwriting is a walk in a strangely familiar neighbourhood, that reveals and revels in the mundane and the mystic. Her acclaimed debut album Swirl (2025, 22TWENTY) was recorded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and was praised by media internationally: including Le Monde, who claimed it one of the standout indie-folk releases of the year; KEXP, who hailed it “a timeless collection of sweeping folk-pop”; as well a love and spins from BBC 6 Music.
