Angus and Julia Stone

1 upcoming festival

Sibling harmonies over hushed, sun-faded folk — Australian soft-focus songs whose whispered intimacy has somehow scaled all the way to headline size.

Angus and Julia Stone are a brother-and-sister duo from Sydney, Australia. Both write and sing, and their records alternate and combine two distinct voices: Julia's high, breathy delivery and Angus's lower, more weathered one, often trading verses within a single song.

The music sits in a quiet corner of folk and pop, built on acoustic guitar, brushed drums, trumpet and keyboards, with arrangements that stay soft even as the audiences have grown. The pair have released albums together and pursued solo work separately, returning to the duo periodically. "Big Jet Plane" remains their best-known song.
