Early years and musical style[edit]
Angus & Julia Stone are a brother-sister folk-blues duo which formed in Sydney in early 2006. Their parents, John and Kim Stone, were a folk duo before Angus and Julia's elder sister, Catherine, was born (ca. 1982).[1] Catherine, Julia (born 13 April 1984) and Angus (born 27 April 1986) grew up in the suburb of Newport on Sydney's Northern Beaches. They attended Newport Primary School and then Barrenjoey High School – they were all taught by their father.[1] At family gatherings, when the children performed, Catherine was on saxophone, Julia on trumpet and Angus on trombone.[2][3]
During their teen years their parents separated and soon after Angus started writing pop songs.[1][2] The children lived with their father, and after finishing schooling, Angus initially worked as a labourer while Julia taught trumpet.[4] Angus learned guitar while recuperating from a snowboarding accident, he travelled to South America to join his sister.[3]
Gap year[edit]
Angus returned to Australia while Julia spent the rest of a year travelling.[4] Julia later recalled, "[Angus] was writing amazing songs ... [he] had shown me how to play guitar in Bolivia, and those songs had gotten me through that year".[2] She elaborated "At that time the guitar was a new thing for me. I'd just bought it because I wanted to start learning. So we're in the middle of the jungle with this guitar and Angus was playing us these songs he'd been writing. I hadn't really been around him that much for the last couple of years – once I finished school I moved in with my boyfriend and Angus was off surfing and skating – and all of a sudden we're in the middle of the jungle and he's singing these songs that are so beautiful so I asked him to teach me some songs and that was the start of learning guitar and our friendship, I suppose, and the start of us having this amazing experience".[5]
When Julia returned to Australia she encouraged Angus to start performing.[4] By 2005 Angus was playing at open mic nights, sometimes Julia performed backing vocals – for their first such gig, at the Coogee Bay Hotel, they performed Angus' track, "Tears".[6] By that time Julia was writing her own material and they played split sets with each providing backing vocals for the other's material.[2]
The siblings decided to collaborate on their musical endeavours as a duo in early 2006.[2] In terms of composing material, they each write on their own, then work together on structure and harmonies.[3] Australian music journalist, Ed Nimmervoll, described their songwriting as "Julia with her highly romantic confessional relationship songs, Angus with his more guarded lyrically, more directly pop oriented songs".[3] Julia related her process as "The songs and the writing happens all over the place and from all different sources of inspiration. It can be a combination of a place, a person and then the emotions that you're going through in relation to those things. And then there's the people around you who you're leaving with and the lover you've left at home and the fact it's your mom's birthday next week and you're not going to be there".[5]
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". While 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.
