A dreamy trance is conjured in the video for Angus & Julia Stone’s ‘Down to the Sea’. The siblings are seen along the seaside in hazy shots as they stroll through nature. Scenes of animals in their habitats and an enormous python slithering over singer Julia are interspersed with the shots of the duo.
Brother Angus reflects on their partnership as songwriters, “Making music has always been pretty simple for us… just something we have to do… life is complicated, confusing and strange at times but music isn’t. Not for us. It’s just something we do to feel normal.”
‘Down to the Sea’ is the first single from the duo’s new album ‘Cape Forestier’ available now on Nettwerk Music Group. They are currently on an extensive world tour that lasts through the summer with featured shows at The Royal Albert Hall in London and The Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles.
