As Sydney siblings Angus & Julia Stone make their way around the country on a sold out national tour, their sophomore album ‘Down The Way’ has debuted on the National ARIA album chart at #1, with more than double the sales of the number 2 album this week.

In fact, the First Week digital sales are so strong they have broken the record for 1st week digital sales by an Australian Artist, putting them in the league of Coldplay and Pink for opening week digital sales.

It’s not just Australians falling in love with Angus & Julia and their sophomore album either; influential press publications across the globe continue to praise the band with glowing reviews;

Clash Magazine UK – ‘The pair melt in to one another to create a spectral and lush backdrop’
he Guardian UK -‘Magical’
Evening Standard, London UK – ‘Very possibly the worlds’ favourite Australian indie-folk brother and sister duo’
Filter USA – ‘fulfilling realizations of all expectations’
Nylon USA – ‘A walk on the beach at twilight’
Marie Claire USA – ‘Disarmingly simple melody that will propel you off the couch and into the sun’

The new single ‘Big Jet Plane’ has already been launched in the UK by Jonathan Ross on Radio 2 and is accompanied by a beautiful video. Directed and shot In Australia by Kiku Ohe, the video tells the simple story of a girl dreaming of escape from her mundane situation and stars AFI award-winning actress Emily Barclay.
