My heart will always lie in metal music, Black Sabbath, Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth will always be on my play list, but there is always room for other music, especially new sounds that come in to my life and blow me away. So i want to tell you about a duo and an album that did just that, a sound that is a far cry from metal music but truly resonated with me in a magical way!
Recently I came across Angus and Julia Stone, who are accomplished and successful musicians in their genre, so I am kind of a giant leap behind when it comes to these guys and their music. I first came to be aware of the duo when I saw their picture in a magazine, sat in a beautiful meadow, imagining them playing with guitars and backgammon sets i was intrigued by the brother and sisters' bohemian appearance and style and felt the urge to find out more.
Angus and Julia Stone hail from Newport in Sydney Australia and are spawned from folk music performing parents. Angus and Julia were consequently exposed to music from an early age and both learnt to play instruments whilst growing up. Their sound is very much folk inspired, infused with soul and blues. After listening to a few of their songs on youtube to get a general feel for their sound I was instantly compelled to download an album and hear more.
The duo have produced six extended plays and two albums to date and I downloaded their 2010 album ‘Down the Way' which had reached the dizzy heights of number one in the Australian album charts! I can honestly say this has become one of most favourite albums of all time, the songs are so beautiful and easy to listen to, I must have gone through the entire record a hundred times already. You guys should all do the same, i am almost certain you won’t be disappointed!
