Bursting onto the Aotearoa scene with the release of her debut album Between Bodies in 2022, Hannah Everingham quickly garnered attention for ‘feeling beamed out of a timeless realm’ (UTR) and her ‘palpable gift for songwriting’ (Lucy Pollock, Flying Nun) across her south-pacific homeland.
In 2024 she struck shores again, releasing her sophomore album Siempre Tiene Flores. Melding glimpses of weird-folk, psychedelia and punk altogether, the album launches itself further into Everingham's unforged realm, capturing a new, tender jubilation in the title ‘he always has flowers’.
Recorded across a week at co-producer Thomas Isbister’s home studio, the album was predominantly tracked live during a South Pacific winter, made with the brilliant DIY aesthetic shared by Everingham’s band. Described by Flying Out Records as a vibrant album, “blending tropical tones with introspective lyrics, warm storytelling and a touch of playful humour”, Siempre Tiene Flores has been lauded as a stand-out NZ release of 2024, labelled by Radio New Zealand as one of the best local albums of the year.

“Beamed in from a timeless sonic realm” (Under The Radar)
“I keep coming back to how unique she feels in the local landscape, a raconteur who’s light on her feet, mellifluous, and charming” (Tony Stamp, Radio New Zealand, Favourite Albums of 2024)
"Ōtautahi’s Hannah Everingham has made her mark this year with a vibrant and emotionally rich record. Delivering an album of soft, Latin-inspired guitar melodies and gentle percussion. Everingham blends tropical tones with introspective lyrics, warm storytelling with a touch of playful humor. The album's title translates to "always have flowers" and with a delivery, somehow at once both urgent and mellow, we strongly recommend you make some room at your table (adorned with flowers) for this one." - Flying Out Records #2 Album of 2024.
Siempre Tiene Flores nominated for Student Radio Network Favourite Album, Aotearoa Alternative Music Awards 2024
