CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Julia Kent left Rasputina in 1999, after releasing two albums on Columbia, and shortly thereafter became a member of Antony & The Johnsons. She played on and contributed string arrangements to the group's Mercury Prize-winning record I Am a Bird Now; has toured Europe, North America, and Australia; played at Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall; and appeared on numerous television shows, including the Late Show with David Letterman, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, and the BBC's Newsnight. In addition to her ongoing participation in Antony & The Johnsons, she has also performed and/or recorded with Angels of Light, Burnt Sugar, Larsen, Angela McCluskey, Leona Naess, Teddy Thompson, Devendra Banhart, Mi and L'au, and Rufus Wainwright. Julia Kent's debut solo effort, Delay, is a CD of multi-tracked cello and found sounds. It was inspired by the transitory nature of airports, 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) in between touring. After so many years of playing with other people, Kent 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 the effect, to traveling, and to the fact that the album took so long to record. It also pays homage to Arthur Russell's World of Echo, a masterpiece of externalizing the intimate. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsCellist for Antony and the Johnsons Reveals Her Magnificance Philip D. Lipetz | 02/06/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I attended a great Antony and the Johnsons concert last night and I noticed that the atmospheric and rhythmic themes all flowed from Julia Kent the cellist, so I went to her website (JuliaKent.com) to learn more. She is a prolific Indie artist accompanist as well as a solo artist. There were three sample MP3s on the website so I downloaded them and saw even more of the brilliance she showed with Antony and the Johnsons. After that there was no way to avoid purchasing her CD,Delay, from Amazon. Delay takes me to places of creative peace. Ordinary music usually stimulates only one of those emotions at a time but she knows how to silence the mind while enlightening the source from which we all flow. That is the source of great music and I am sure that Julia Kent will become a major avant garde artist. Think of the Kronos Quartet playing Philip Glass, but both the artist and the composer are one. I am writing my next book with her playing in the background. And no she did not pay me to write this glowing review, the first time I have been so moved that I wrote an online review." "Travel to other worlds... gorgeous galaxies at your beck an Catherine S. Todd | Oxford NC, USA | 12/17/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I cannot speak highly enough of this beautiful CD, this collection of constellations in the bright night sky. Gorgeous galaxies, music & stars bursting into being from this body hugging cello by Ms. Julia Kent. Be prepared to travel to other worlds, interior and elsewhere... hang on to these coattails and be ready to ride; what a gift to be allowed to follow and fly. I could not ask for more. This is the music of poets set to eternal vibrations, from whence we came and where will we go... Listen to "Gardemoen" which is in reality an airport in Oslo, Norway*. This plane will take off and take you on travels through the stars. 5 stars for the seven sisters of the Pleiades and more; adding in more worlds and comets in her jewel-like crown. You will travel through starlit dreams into the magic of the galaxies, flying through darkness and light from where we came and whence we go. This is a CD of the power and depth the cello can bring.l Now I come to wonder and to believe "There WAS Sound before Light." What a gift from the heavens above. If you are really lucky, try to catch her performance again at The Monkey in NYC. She performed with Redhooker recently, and I hope to attend next time. Something to remember for the rest of your life. * Note: I just now read the "editorial review" and find that many of the titles to the tracks are named for different airports during her time of touring: "Delay was recorded over the course of a year (or so) in between touring.... Delay, is a CD of multi-tracked cello and found sounds. It was inspired by the transitory nature of airports, and by the private emotional worlds that we create amid the disorientations and disjunctions of travel." I had no idea!" Beautiful Lindsey R. Gibson | Clinton, IA USA | 11/25/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "This album is just beautiful ... I wish there was a better word to use, but I am unable to find it. A classic album to put on during the evening hours; an album that will help you get in touch with inner feelings."
