SOUNDS AUSTRALIA @ CMJ 2010 - APRA

ANGUS & JULIA STONE
www.angusandjuliastone.com
Angus and Julia Stone have already toured the world early 2010
with their sophomore release Down The Way and are about
to make their way around again including the US CMJ Festival
around their October tour around the US.
On Down The Way they have made their debut as producers,
and develop their sound without losing the spirit of their
debut. The album debuted No. 1 and reached platinum in their home territory Australia in 2 months
becoming the highest selling Australian album for 2010 already.
Travelling has been an integral part of the Stone’s musical story so it’s not surprising they opted
to record in a number of diverse locations around the globe - an old sawmill on the river banks of
Fowey, Cornwall, a studio in Brooklyn, a water tank in Coolangatta, their second home - London - and
Queens in New York.
On Down The Way, Angus and Julia showcase thirteen lovingly crafted songs reflecting a myriad of
emotions. Another graceful step on a remarkable musical journey.
USA Reviews
“Brother Angus’ acoustic guitar wraps sister Julia’s whispery trill with an unhurried, disarmingly
simple melody that will propel you off the couch and into the sun.” - MARIE CLAIRE
“If A Book Like This compounded the prospects of their future, consider Down The Way the fulfilling
realization of all expectations.” – FILTER
“…the musical equivalent of a walk on the beach at twilight.” - NYLON

CIRCLE PIT

Glimmer Twins infatuation--well, some folks can pull it off, others
cannot. Now in the second decade of the 21st century, Circle Pit
have sauntered into the boozy sway with their debut LP Bruise
Constellation.
Seemingly born out of the tar and tobacco of Nellcote / Exile on
Main Street-session blooze, Circle Pit ably finesse a torn and
frayed sound that’s as retro as it is original. Oozing raw talent
and possessed with uncanny sensual / sexual osmosis, Bruise
Constellation will have you believing it’s the Summer of ‘72 all over
again (again). Look for the band to tour US throughout October/ November starting at CMJ in NYC
“Circle Pit is the type of rock band that most others are too lazy to be: aligned closely with tradition
but replete with the type of individuality and wit, honesty and intimacy that is usually shed in favor of
blindly channelling riffs already written. Bruise Constellation sheds light on the gaudy subterranean
sleaze of a Sydney rapidly devolving into a Ballardian capitalist nightmare--all tidy swept streets,
pedestrian free thoroughfares and oiled seven-to-when-you-pass-out workdays. It’s also the
catchiest record you’re going to hear all year.” - Mess + Noise
