The Sydney-born siblings produced and largely engineered Snow themselves, in Angus’s cottage studio, Belafonte, in the Byron Bay hinterland. “It was quite magical because Angus and I have never spent that much time together, just the two of us,” says Julia. “The last phase of writing and recording was just eight weeks of him and me and the quiet of the land. It was a beautiful time.” Since they began in 2006, Angus & Julia Stone have amassed multi-platinum sales and numerous ARIA awards at home, and won a fanbase of millions over tours of the UK, Europe & North America.

For their third album that was released in 2014, Angus and Julia Stone were offered assistance from Rick Rubin. This was in fact the great producer that had urged the brother and sister to restart their duo, after each one had undertaken solo projects. The solar pop and folk duo from Australia penned a superb disc, simple but never simplistic, containing satiny textures, stardust dreams and golden melodies. With this L.A.-produced album, Angus and Julia Stone had never been so moving… Three years later, they’re back in their native land of Australia. On the West Coast, near Byron Bay to the south of Brisbane, they designed a disc a tad more pared-down… “This time round though, Angus clarifies, every song on the record we wrote together.” And her sister adds: “It was quite magical because Angus and I have never spent that much time together, just the two of us. There’s always at least an engineer or tour manager but the last phase of writing and recording was just eight weeks of him and me and the quiet of the land. It was a beautiful time. We have very different styles of writing but they seem to work together. In a way, it’s the differences that make it sound the way it does. ”In the end, we still find this light cloud of melancholy, like a fake languor that lulls you to dreamland with unassuming pop folk. Without revolutionising their art or making a clean break with the past, the tandem still manages to find the unstoppable melody, the small harmonic turn that renders the insignificant completely wonderful.
