All We Are is a Liverpool-based indie pop and dream pop band formed by musicians from Ireland, Norway, and Brazil. The trio has carved a distinct niche with their lush, groove-driven sound, releasing critically acclaimed albums and performing at major international festivals.
Early career
The band formed in 2014 after its members met while studying at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. The founding lineup consists of Richard O'Flynn from Ireland, Guro Gikling from Norway, and Luis Santos from Brazil. Their initial self-titled debut album, All We Are, was released in January 2015 on the influential label Double Six/Domino Records, home to artists like Wild Beasts.
Breakthrough
All We Are's breakthrough moment arrived with their sophomore album, Sunny Hills, released in 2017.

The album garnered significant airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music and led to prominent festival slots across Europe.
