Angus and Julia Stone

Our friends at Filter Magazine were nice enough to exclusively premiere the brand new video for "Black Crow" from Angus & Julia Stone's upcoming sophomore album Down The Way, out March 30. Watch the video above and check out the full post on FilterMagazine.com.  Fans can also purchase the recently released single at iTunes HERE. 

As reported by Filter, "Black Crow" was directed/animated by Nick Murray Willis, and is a reworking of one of an art school projects that Angus and Julia took a liking to. Here's the story according to Willis:
"In the late 80s/early 90s I grew up in the forests of Winnie the Pooh, South of England. After studying at Norwich Art School and doing an animation degree at Solent University I've spent the last few years working on various animation projects. The video for "Black Crow" is a remake of my degree film The Hatch, a bleak look at a prisoner trying to break out of his mundane world. Angus and Julia sent me the track for "Black Crow" and knowing they liked The Hatch I suggested editing a version to the song. Angus had a few ideas on the direction they wanted the video to go so I worked them in as well as I could and that's how the video came out."

Australian brother/sister duo Angus & Julia Stone are back with sophomore album Down The Way, the follow up to their 2009 critically acclaimed debut A Book Like This. The album will be available on March 30, 2010, but Angus & Julia have premiered the first new single, “And The Boys,” out now in iTunes. 

Down The Way highlights the endless talents of this brother and sister as musicians, songwriters and producers. The self-produced album was recorded between England, New York and Australia--from an old sawmill on the riverbanks of Fowey, Cornwall to a studio in Brooklyn, to a water tank in Coolangatta to the streets of London and back to Queens. Down The Way is comprised of 13 tracks that sail across the different realms of musical themes, from folksy charm to epic orchestral grandeur, all the while emphasizing the pair’s beautifully subtle harmonies.

Aussie bro/sis pair Angus & Julia Stone are back with a brand new single called "And The Boys," the first track from their upcoming sophomore album out early next year. The band debuted the video today; check it out here. 

“And The Boys,” co-produced by Brad Albetta (Martha Wainwright), inspires joy gained from love lost. With a driving drumbeat, beautiful touches of melatron and moog behind the acoustic guitars and dancing bass and piano, the song speaks to the power of the beauty that can be found in even the hardest of times.

The video, which was shot in Sydney, was directed by Kiku Ohe and produced by Jon Pollard.
