Julie Rains releases lentement, inviting you to listen differently

With lentement, julie rains presents her debut EP, born from a writing and composition process focused on repetition and the slow passage of time.

The product of a long gestation, lentement condenses the past two years of julie rains’ life, filled with recurring words, obsessions, experimental sessions in the studio with Rowan van Hoef, sudden moments of sweetness, edgy sounds, and hidden little details that, once discovered, take over completely.

In a world where everything is fleeting, lentement reminds us of the importance of pausing to listen, to savor, to truly notice. julie rains’ repetitions create this space: an almost intimate slowdown that forces the ear to appreciate every nuance, every vibration. Her voice, fragile yet assured, moves within this rhythm, while Rowan van Hoef’s dense, precise electronic textures support this approach with subtlety, creating a coherent and singular atmosphere.

Together, they offer a project that explores the power of slowness and minimalism, an EP inviting attentive listening beyond conventional formats, where every repeated motif becomes a fragment of life, and every detail a revelation.

Experience lentement live at its release party at Beursschouwburg on November 29, where julie rains will be joined by other artists extending the sonic and sensitive universe of the EP
