JULIA KENT - Delay - CD
imprec149 - CD - $11.99 
Julia Kent left Rasputina in 1999, after releasing
two albums on Columbia Records, and shortly thereafter became a
member of Antony and the Johnsons. She played on and contributed
string arrangements to the group’s Mercury Prize-winning
record I Am a Bird Now, and, as a Johnson, has toured
Europe, North America, and Australia; played at Carnegie Hall and
the Royal Albert Hall; and appeared on numerous television shows.
In addition to her ongoing participation in Antony and the Johnsons,
she also has performed and/or recorded with many other artists and
ensembles, including the Angels of Light, Burnt Sugar,
Larsen, Angela McCluskey, Leona Naess, Teddy
Thompson, Devendra Banhart, Mi and L’au,
and Rufus Wainwright.
Her debut solo effort, Delay, is a cd of multitracked cello
and found sounds. It was inspired by airports, by transitoriness,
and by the private emotional worlds that we create amid the disorientations
and disjunctions of travel.
Delay was recorded over the course of a year (or so) at home
in between touring and traveling. After so many years of playing
with other people Julia felt that it was time to do something entirely
on her own. As a result she is the sole composer/performer on all
tracks. The title refers to both the effect, to traveling and to
the fact that it took so long to record. It is also an homage to
Arthur Russell's World Of Echo – a masterpiece
of (among other things) externalizing the intimate.

Let's get this straight immediately. Anoice
is not another instumental group with strong rock tendencies
and an armchair association with classical music. Unlike numerous
contemporaries which they will undoubtedly be compared to,
their goal is not to follow the trends and make the soft/loud/soft/loud
juxtapositions in every song, but to carefully craft each
song with a strong attention to melody, solid accompaniment,
and courteous counterpoint. Six panel digipack design by Non-Format
