Angus & Julia Stone’s music seems to float on its own dreamy wavelength. Maybe that effect comes from the enigmatic bond of a shared history between brother and sister — or maybe it’s something deeper, something in their DNA that comes through so often in the music of family bands. The duo released their first EP, Chocolates and Cigarettes, before moving to London in 2006, where they recorded Heart Full of Wine and their debut album, A Book Like This. Released in 2007, A Book Like This charted Top 10 in Australia. Two years later they returned with Down the Way — a breakthrough record that earned them their first number one album, five ARIA Awards, and Australia’s Hottest 100 with “Big Jet Plane,” while introducing their music to a global audience. In 2014, they released the Rick Rubin–produced Angus & Julia Stone, followed by the critically acclaimed Snow (2017), the first album they wrote and recorded entirely themselves. Their most recent album, Cape Forestier (2024), was recorded at Sugarcane Mountain Studios and released ahead of one of their biggest global tours to date.
