Parisian quintet En Attendant Ana return with Juillet, a sophisticated follow-up to their 2018 debut Lost and Found. Recorded in a week at rural Studio Claudio, the album reflects the band’s evolution and personal transitions. Unlike the wild energy of their debut, Juillet is focused and meticulously arranged, with ten songs that shine individually and dazzle as a whole. Tracks like “Do You Understand?” and “Words” showcase sharpened hooks, while “Flesh or Blood” and “Down The Hill” explore dynamic contrasts. The rhythm section drives catchy tunes like “In / Out,” and ambient, introspective tracks like “From My Bruise To An Island” and “When It Burns” add emotional depth.
