Parisian quintet En Attendant Ana return with Principia, their most refined and sophisticated album yet. Anchored by Margaux Bouchaudon’s luminous vocals, the record blends introspective songwriting with breezy yet intricate indie pop, channeling influences like Stereolab, Cate Le Bon, and Yo La Tengo. With a new level of creative control—led by Bouchaudon and producer/bassist Vincent Hivert—the band explores themes of identity and disconnection through lush arrangements, subtle brass, and precise instrumentation. Principia marks a mature evolution without losing their playful, cinematic charm.
