'''Angus & Julia Stone''' is an Australian folk and indie pop group, formed in 2006 by brother and sister Angus and Julia Stone.

While Angus and his older sister, Julia, have always clearly communicated that they are siblings, fans admitted to mistaking the pair for a married couple due to their shared last name.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gawne|first=Holley|title=5 musical duos that had people confused if they were married or siblings|website=Tone Deaf|publisher=The Brag Media|date=2021-09-11|url=https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/5-musical-duos-people-confused-married-siblings/list/fleetwood-mac/|access-date=31 March 2026}}</ref>

Angus & Julia Stone have released five studio albums and a soundtrack album: ''A Book Like This'' (2007), ''Down the Way'' (2010), ''Angus & Julia Stone'' (2014), ''Snow'' (2017), ''Life Is Strange'' (2021) and ''Cape Forestier'' (2024). At the ARIA Music Awards of 2010, they won five awards from nine nominations: Album of the Year, Best Adult Alternative Album, Best Cover Art and Producer of the Year for ''Down the Way'', and Single of the Year for "Big Jet Plane". The siblings have also issued solo albums.

==History== ===Early years and musical style=== Angus (b. 1986) and Julia (b. 1984) Stone were born in Sydney to Kim and John Stone, both of whom influenced their children's interest in music. Along with their older sister, Catherine, Julia and Angus grew up in the suburb of Newport on Sydney's Northern Beaches. They attended Newport Primary School and then Barrenjoey High School.<ref name="Murfett">{{cite news | last = Murfett | first = Andrew | date = 3 September 2010 | title = Stone Hearts Renewed | url = http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/music/stone-hearts-renewed-20100902-14r1y.html | work = The Age | access-date = 9 December 2012 }}</ref> During their teen years, Angus started writing pop songs.<ref name="Murfett"/><ref name="Murfett2007">{{cite news | last = Murfett | first = Andrew | title = Angus & Julia Stone | url = http://www.theage.com.au/news/gig-previews--reviews/angus--julia-stone/2007/10/16/1192300745813.html?page=fullpage | work = The Age | date = 16 October 2007 | access-date = 9 December 2012 }}</ref> After finishing school, Angus worked as a labourer and learned guitar while recuperating from a snowboarding accident.

====Gap year==== After travelling abroad, when she returned to Australia, Julia encouraged Angus to start performing.<ref name="ABCPerformer"/> By 2005, Angus was playing at open mics with Julia occasionally performing backing vocals. For their first such gig, at the Coogee Bay Hotel, they performed Angus' song "Tears".<ref name="Treuen2">{{cite news | url = http://jasontreuen.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/frankie-first-and-last-times-with-julia-stone/ | title = First and Last Times with Julia Stone | work = frankie | publisher = Morrison Media | last = Treuen | first = Jason | date = 24 October 2007 | access-date = 10 December 2012 }}</ref> By that time, Julia was writing her own material and they played split sets, with each providing backing vocals for the other's material.<ref name="Murfett2007"/>

====Collaboration==== The siblings decided to collaborate on their musical endeavours as a duo in early 2006.<ref name="Murfett2007"/> They each write on their own material, then work together on structure and harmonies.<ref name="Nimmervoll2">{{cite web | archive-url = https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20120726191200/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/14231/20120727-0512/www.howlspace.com.au/en5/StoneAngusAndJulia/StoneAngusAndJulia.htm | url = http://www.howlspace.com.au/en5/StoneAngusAndJulia/StoneAngusAndJulia.htm | title = Angus and Julia Stone | last1 = Nimmervoll | first1 = Ed | author-link1 = Ed Nimmervoll | publisher = Howlspace – The Living History of Our Music (Ed Nimmervoll).

They have distinctive vocal styles, according to ''The Sydney Morning Herald''{{'}}s Bernard Zuel: "[h]er voice has a fractured feel like Jolie Holland; his has a smoke-on-the-beach drawl". Nimmervoll offered, "Angus has a Paul Simon style voice, in the high register, equally as suited to lead and harmony. Julia's is one of those girly, fragile theatrical voices very much in vogue in alt-folk these days. She'd struggle to distinguish herself against the competition, but alternating with Angus gives her the necessary platform of variety, and just as well, because the songs she takes charge of are such wonderful tales of forlorn reflection".<ref name="Nimmervoll">{{cite web | archive-url =https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20120726191200/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/14231/20120727-0512/www.howlspace.com.au/en2/stoneA&J/StoneA&J.htm | url = http://www.howlspace.com.au/en2/stoneA&J/StoneA&J.htm | title = Feature Album – Angus and Julia Stone – ''A Book Like This'' | last1 = Nimmervoll | first1 = Ed | publisher = Howlspace – The Living History of Our Music (Ed Nimmervoll).

United Kingdom journalist Johnny Sharp of ''Mojo'' stated, "[m]ost 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". Lewis Bazley of inthenews.co.uk felt they had a "winning mix of Angus' Damien Rice-like lilting vocals and Julia's Björk-esque warbling creating a sonic combination that lulls the listener into wistful contentment".<ref name="Bazley">{{cite web | url = http://www.inthenews.co.uk/inconversation/entertainment/music/whos-next/angus-and-julia-stone-simplicity-beats-sibling-troubles-$1217610.htm | title = Angus and Julia Stone: Simplicity beats sibling troubles | last = Bazley | first = Lewis | publisher = inthenews.co.uk | date = 7 April 2008 | access-date = 17 December 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120210210709/http://www.inthenews.co.uk/inconversation/entertainment/music/whos-next/angus-and-julia-stone-simplicity-beats-sibling-troubles-$1217610.htm | archive-date = 10 February 2012 | url-status=dead | df = dmy-all }}</ref>

===2006: ''Chocolates and Cigarettes'' and ''Heart Full of Wine'' EPs=== In March 2006 Angus & Julia Stone began recording their debut extended play, ''Chocolates and Cigarettes'', with Julia on vocals, guitar and trumpet; Angus on vocals and guitar; Mitchell "Mitch" Connelly (the Beautiful Girls) on drums and percussion; Clay MacDonald (the Beautiful Girls) on bass guitar; and Hanna Oblikov guesting on cello.<ref name="Murfett2007"/><ref name="Choc">{{cite AV media notes |title=Chocolates & Cigarettes |title-link=Chocolates and Cigarettes |others=Angus & Julia Stone |year=2006 |publisher=EMI Music |id=0946 3 74832 2 0 }}</ref> The EP's title was provided by Julia: "I really like both ... But I'm trying to not like cigarettes. I only smoke now after I play gigs".<ref name="Murfett2007"/> Connelly, who was Julia's then-boyfriend, and MacDonald had permanently left their band, the Beautiful Girls, to back the duo for live performances.<ref name="Murfett2007"/> Their first single, "Paper Aeroplane", from the EP was played on Australian radio<ref name="rage"/> in April including on FBi.

In late March that year, the group signed with the William Morris Agency as their US agent. In May they played at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton.

They welcomed in 2008 by performing at the New Year's Eve Falls Festival in Australia before heading back to the UK to support Newton Faulkner and David Gray, as well as playing their own sold-out London shows at Scala.
