Angus & Julia Stone Premiere New Video For "Hold On" And Announce October Dates

“They’re shedding new light on the intense but often subtle dynamics of male-female collaboration…Chart-toppers in their own country, the Stone siblings create the kind of music -- quiet, but driving, and rich with aura -- that turns casual listeners into cultish fans.” – LA Times

“Barefoot in a jade chiffon maxi dress, a flower in her hair, Julia looks like a young Loretta Lynn wafting around her first Glastonbury. Angus also sports a yellow bloom – in his trilby – but has the wild hair, beard and more earthy charms of Chas Hodges…watching the family Stone is like taking a minibreak – warm, intimate and inviting – you'll feel better for it.”– The Guardian (UK)

Indie-folk duo Angus & Julia Stone are set to return to North America this fall for headline tour dates that kick off with an appearance on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” on October 4 and a show at Los Angeles’s El Rey on October 5. They’ll also pass through Austin for their first Austin City Limits appearance on October 8, sharing the day with artists like Beach House, The Black Keys, Vampire Weekend and Spoon.

The Australian brother and sister were last in North America in May and June for their Bonnaroo debut and sold-out headline tour behind their critically-acclaimed sophomore album Down The Way, which continues to hold records as the highest-selling Australian artist album for 2010 and highest first week digital sales by an Australian artist ever.

Angus & Julia Stone have just released a brand new video for latest single “Hold On” (directed by Kiku Ohe), which premiered yesterday on the LA Times Pop & Hiss Blog.
