Angus & Julia Stone歌手简介:
Angus & Julia Stone 是一对来自澳洲的兄妹组合，乐队的名字就是俩人名字的相加。Angus Stone和Julia Stone。两人的声音各具特点，怎么听都舒服。Angus的嗓音很有磁性，柔和之中带着一丝沙哑和随意，而Julia的嗓音则可爱得像孩子一样，跳跃感极强，就连小小的跑调也让人觉得调皮至极。

Angus & Julia Stone are a brother-and-sister performing team, aided by Mitch Connelly on percussion (he also doubles as their official photographer). Growing up in Sydney's Northern Beaches, they were taught the history of pop music from an early age by their father, who played in a cover band. At first, they thought the Beatles' songs he played were his own compositions. In 2005, Julia Stone began teaching trumpet lessons while her brother Angus worked as a laborer. She convinced him to test his musical talents by performing locally, and he responded by bringing her on-stage with him as a backing musician. At first, the two played separately billed shows, but each would support the other on-stage to the point where it made sense to share billing credits. The duo released an EP of early material, Chocolates & Cigarettes, before moving to London in 2006, where the siblings met Fran Healy of the band Travis. Healy was impressed by their songs, inviting them to his house to use his piano. The band eventually recorded its entire second EP, Heart Full of Wine, at Healy's home. In return, Julia Stone provided backing vocals on the Travis song "Battleships," from the record The Boy with No Name. Angus & Julia Stone's debut album, A Book Like This, was released in 2007, and charted well in the bandmates' native Australia. An international release followed in March 2008.
