Being that most of these music threads seem to think that music stopped being written around 1978 I thought it'd be nice to find some new music too.

I'm liking Angus And Julia Stone's new album. It's neither better nor worse than their previous ones, but different in feel. A little more rock and a little less folk perhaps. Better production. Slightly darker even. I think they have a new drummer and bass guitar, or they've improved a lot, which has made a difference. Their songwriting is still simple/refined yet unexpected and catchy.



Oh yeah - And Julia has stopped trying to impersonate E.T. "Ellllliiooooooottt". Honestly I don't know why she put that stupid style on in the earlier albums. I saw them live and she was beautiful. The earlier albums her voice sounds like an old babushka that has lived in the woods for a million years. Or a cheap attempt at sounding like Portishead. She's come out of her shell now.

edit: AHAAAAAA!!! It's because of Rick Rubin (just read a review of the album).
Damn, I've been enjoying his production since Slayer's Reign in Blood : \
Everything he touches is gold.
