En Attendant Ana is a French rock band[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

Founding and EP

[edit]

En Attendant Ana was formed in Paris in 2014.[4] The name translates to "Waiting for Ana" which originates from an incident where a waitress at a bar in Brussels stopped to yell at a belligerent customer before bringing the band members their drinks.[1] In 2015, they recorded a song, "Time", for a compilation album by Buddy Records. In 2016, their first EP, Songs from the Cave, was released by Buddy Records. It consists of 6 tracks, which were recorded in one day in a cellar in Yvelines.[5] Soon after the release, they began performing live shows in France.[5]

Lost & Found

[edit]

Following their EP, En Attendant Ana acquired an American distribution via Trouble in Mind, a Chicago-based label that scouted for European artists. Their debut album, Lost & Found, was released in April 2018. They toured in France, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the eastern United States.[1]

Juillet

[edit]

Their second album, Juillet, was released in January 2020 exclusively by Trouble in Mind.[4] It was written in six months and recorded by Vincent Hivert and Alexis Fugain in one week at Studio Claudio in the Ile-de-France countryside.[6] Juillet has a different style from previous albums due to the addition of a new guitarist, Maxence Tomasso, from the garage band Entracte Twist.[7] The new style is less wild than their previous albums and more focused on arrangements, structure, and songwriting.[8]

Principia

[edit]

In November 2022, the band released the single "Principia", the first single from their upcoming album, Principia. The second single, "Same Old Story", was released on January 6, 2023, with a music video directed by Ilhan Palayret.[8]

The Principia album was released on February 24, 2023, by Trouble in Mind. It received a very positive critical reception, described by BenzineMag as their best album to date and one of the great French albums of 2023, particularly because of the brass.[9]
