Sarah Julia share 21-track playlist for NME Cover appearance
Amsterdam folk duo Sarah Julia created a 21-track playlist called “Witching Season” for their appearance on NME’s The Cover.
The selection includes songs by Mazzy Star, Fontaines D.C., Agnes Obel and Laura Marling.
In their profile, sisters Sarah and Julia Nauta discuss their debut album, “The Fear That This Is Real,” and their path as a duo.
They also discuss why Gen Z is connecting with folk music, which they describe as vulnerable and reflective.
Their song “Daughters” traces difficult experiences of girlhood and womanhood, and felt especially relevant during their recent US tour.
The song has prompted audiences to share their experiences, the duo said, while they also described those encounters as sad because many people face similar struggles.
The playlist is available on Spotify and Apple Music alongside their Cover profile.

What people are saying
Folk music can be very vulnerable; I think it helps people to do more inner work and be a bit more silent and introspective
There’s so much shit going on in the world, and you can lean into that aggressive realm, but then there’s also a part of us that just wants to be carried or just feel held.
In folk music you’re able to shed some tears together.
