Jules et Jim is a trip hop / drum and bass band consisting of Jean-Marc Lederman (of The Weathermen) and Julianne Regan (of All About Eve). A 1999 press release describing their music reads: "While their sound is eerie, the vocal's in your face. When the voice whispers, the music slashes like a flick-knife. It's warm but chilled, it's groovy while discreet, it's a night record you wanna hear when the sun comes up."
