About the Artist: 

Sarah Julia is a Dutch folk duo consisting of sisters Sarah and Julia, whose debut album “The Fear That This Is Real” captures the fragile gray area between hesitation and change. In the fall of 2025, the duo traveled from Amsterdam to Woodstock, New York, to record the album with producer Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Florist, Hand Habits). As they recorded 12 songs live over the course of six days—often late at night and by candlelight—the sisters took a collaborative approach without headphones, prioritizing instinct over perfection so that the music could breathe and gain depth. Before their music careers, Sarah and Julia were actresses, performing in theaters and films in the Netherlands. Raised on the folk records of Cat Stevens and Jim Croce, they eventually found their own voices through the guitar; Julia was drawn to its warmth, while Sarah was drawn to the mandolin and other “tiny instruments.” Their 2024 debut EP, “How Do We Go Back To Being Normal?,” explored mistrust and shifting family dynamics, followed by “Only Making It Worse” in 2025, which chronicled the slow healing process of emotional wounds. With “The Fear That This Is Real,” the sisters turn both inward and outward, writing with unwavering honesty about heartbreak, self-sabotage, insecurity, longing, and acceptance. With intuitive ease and radiant harmonies, they exchange verses and shed light on both sides of love’s fractures, challenging each other to confront deeper truths. Their songs blend expansiveness and intimacy, reconciling melancholy with clarity and returning to questions of transience and perspective. “I don’t know where I’m going, but I’ll get there,” they sing, extending a calm, reassuring hand into the unknown.
