Angus & Julia Stone Release “Losing You” From Forthcoming Album ‘Cape Forestier’; 2024 Tour Dates On Sale Now

Ahead of their sixth album Cape Forestier, multi-platinum sibling duo Angus & Julia Stone share the opening song from the new project. “Losing You” sets the tone for the reflective new record highlighting the special, familial bond as Angus and Julia sing the melancholic melody in harmony throughout the song. The accompanying video matches the mood with stark black and white contrast as Angus and Julia walk through a shadowy mansion as interpretive dancers fill the empty halls of the house.

Julia elaborates on the inspiration behind the song: “This song is about the dance between discovery and loss, the essence of love’s journey—filled with so many moments of both finding and losing.

Playing this track together is incredibly enjoyable, mostly because we sing in harmony throughout the entire song. We’ve done a lot of singing in unison on the last couple of records, but singing in harmony is a special experience; there’s something about the familial tone of our voices blending together a third apart that has a real magic for us. The feel of the song also reminds us of the songs our parents played us… Losing You reminds us of long road trips up the east coast of Australia, where we’d sing in the back of the car to mum and dads favourite tunes from the 60’s and 70’s.

Inspired by the fluidity of the dance between love and loss, our vision for the accompanying video was to mirror this dynamic through movement. We wanted to evoke the sensation of being consumed by shadows and darkness, only to emerge into the light, ultimately rediscovering ourselves once again.”

“Losing You” follows title track “Cape Forestier” and “The Wedding Song” which will appear on the new album due out on May 10th via Nettwerk.

“Making music has always been pretty simple for us… just something we have to do.” Angus looks over at his sister. There’s a brief pause. He continues, “life is complicated, confusing and strange at times but music isn’t. Not for us. It’s just something we do to feel normal.” Julia nods in agreement.

It’s this language of music that forms the basis of Angus and Julia Stone’s new album, Cape Forestier – a collection of heartfelt songs that share the sound of their extraordinary journey together. The new album plays out like a storybook from the hearts and minds of Angus and Julia Stone – reminiscent of their earlier records, with each song revealing itself as a different page. Whether it’s the rhythmic strum, relaxed feel and beautiful lyrical adventure of the title track “Cape Forestier,” the seductive opening track “Losing You,” the emotive and touching “The Wedding Song,” or the gentle front porch sway of “County Sign,” it seems clear that Angus and Julia Stone were born to be musicians at heart.

Music has continued to play an essential role in their lives over the years, as they’ve established a prominent career in the international music world. Their albums have amassed multi-platinum sales and numerous ARIA and APRA awards at home and won a fanbase of millions over spiralling tours of the UK, Europe, and North America. 2017’s Snow, was praised by NYLON and Billboard, who debuted their hit single “Chateau,” along with a music video starring Stranger Things breakout star Dacre Montgomery. Last year, Angus shared the stage with Post Malone to perform their multi-platinum hit “Big Jet Plane,” a song that Malone fondly refers to as “probably my favorite song for-fucking-ever.”

Their indelible impact has been nothing short of timeless as their hypnotic songs have infiltrated film and TV from Woody Harrelson’s film The Edge Of 17 to TV shows like Pretty Little Liars, Suits, and Revenge, as well as a national TV advertisement for Maybelline. They have cast their spell over the world’s key festivals: Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Rock Werchter, Hurricane, Austin City Limits, Electric Picnic, and Splendour In The Grass.

In between tours and recording, the two have pursued their own solo careers, with Julia collaborating with St. Vincent’s Annie Clark on Sixty Summers (2021), receiving praise from the likes of Interview Mag and Rolling Stone. Angus released his psychedelic-pop sounds under the alter-ego moniker DOPE LEMON, performing at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and the Sydney Opera House. 

Whether they are tagged as folky, acoustic, or indie-rock is not a concern for the duo. “It has never been about a stylistic choice; we make it how we make it,” says Angus. Julia adds, “we are two people who play music because, well, just because. We are endlessly surprised and honored that people get something from it – it makes it so much more special to share it with a community.”
