Snow

Released in 2017, Snow is the fourth studio album by Australian duo Angus & Julia Stone. It marks a significant shift in their creative process: for the first time, the siblings wrote every song together from start to finish, rather than contributing individual compositions. This collaborative approach resulted in a more unified sonic palette, characterized by frequent unison singing and tightly woven arrangements. Recorded at Angus's cottage studio in Belafonté, the album leans heavily into 'indie folk' with strong 'dream pop' and 'soft rock' undercurrents. Critically, it was noted for its lush production and hypnotic qualities, moving away from the starker acoustic roots of their debut toward a more cinematic, electric-guitar-driven sound. The lead single 'Snow' and the follow-up 'Chateau' became instant staples of their live sets, showcasing the album's signature blend of rhythmic drive and ethereal atmosphere.
