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]

[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.
