Release Notes:
Angus & Julia Stone are a brother-sister duo from
Newport on the Northern Beaches of Sydney,
Australia.
Angus and Julia began to collaborate on their
musical endeavors in early 2006. Prior to that, both
had performed as solo artists, principally at open
mike nights, but with each using the other as a
backing partner. In terms of composing material,
they write on their own, then work together on
structure and harmonies.
Both Angus and Julia have distinctive vocal styles.
The Sydney Morning HeraldÆs Bernard Zuel described
their vocals as such: "Her voice has a fractured
feel like Jolie Holland; his has a
smoke-on-the-beach drawl." UK journalist Johnny
Sharp stated, "Most impressive, though, are the
songs - simple but blindingly effective acoustic
compositions, warm boy-girl harmonies and delicate,
less-is-more arrangements. Resistance is surely
futile."
Mitch Connelly, the band's drummer and
percussionist, also acts as the bandÆs official
photographer. His brother, who works under the name
IOSHVA, maintains their website and produces their
artwork. The band also directs their own videos
along with their friends at Nippard Productions.
Together, and with respective singer/songwriter
talents, Angus & Julia Stone form two halves of a
musical act whose words and music reveals a pure and
genuine love of music and a talent for telling
beautiful and beguiling stories. A Book Like This
was co-produced with Fran Healy (Travis).
