Biography

"Making music has always been pretty simple for us… just something we have to do.” Angus looks over at his sister. There’s a brief pause. He continues, “life is complicated, confusing and strange at times but music isn't. Not for us. It's just something we do to feel normal.” Julia nods in agreement. It's this language of music that forms the basis of Angus and Julia Stone's new album, Cape Forestier – a collection of heartfelt songs that share the sound of their extraordinary journey together. The new album plays out like a storybook from the hearts and minds of Angus and Julia Stone – reminiscent of their earlier records, with each song revealing itself as a different page. Whether it's the rhythmic strum, relaxed feel and beautiful lyrical adventure of the title track “Cape Forestier,” the seductive opening track “Losing You,” the emotive and touching “The Wedding Song,” or the gentle front porch sway of “County Sign,” it seems clear that Angus and Julia Stone were born to be musicians at heart.Whether they are tagged as folky, acoustic, or indie-rock is not a concern for the duo. "It has never been about a stylistic choice; we make it how we make it," says Angus. Julia adds, "we are two people who play music because, well, just because. We are endlessly surprised and honoured that people get something from it - it makes it so much more special to share it with a community."
