Yesterday’s Australian Music Prize shortlist announcement says some pretty morbid things about the Australian psyche right now, writes SHAUN PRESCOTT . All manner of outrage follows the announcement of an Australian Music Prize shortlist, and this year is no exception. The usual online to-and-fro between "haters", supporters and those who maintain a supposedly healthy ambivalence is interchangeable year after year. It's the same debate. Just picture this: every year the judges (of which there are 40 including the editor of this very website) are allotted the grueling task of listening to piles of Australian music. Then they have to ...

“All-time” lists, be it football teams or songs, will always be met with conjecture . This is perhaps why The Great Australian Songbook – a set which promises “40 of Australia’s finest recording artists performing 40 of the best Australian songs from ‘last century’ and ‘this century’” – is, by its very nature, contentious. Many of the tunes (particularly slices from the “Last Century” disc, such as The Church’s ‘Under The Milky Way’ and The Easybeats’ ‘Friday On My Mind’) are unarguably classic cuts – poignant, nostalgic or fun-filled moments of Australian pop and rock that have grown to characterise a time ...

"Gotye to top the Hottest 100." This was M+N contributor Andrew McMillen’s startling prediction at August’s Splendour In The Grass festival. And while he was mocked and derided like a young Nostradamus at the time, lo and behold, he was right. ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ featuring Kiwi-born singer Kimbra was officially announced this evening as the “hottest” song of 2011, beating out the likes of The Black Keys’ ‘Lonely Boy’ (#2), Matt Corby’s ‘Brother’ (#3) and Skrillex (#21). It’s the second year running an Australian act has topped the publically voted list, following ...

"Broken Brights" MP3 from the upcoming album TBA 2012 Angus and Julia Stone are tacking a well earned break from working with each other having spent the last few years traversing the globe and bringing Australian indie-folk music to the world.

The track, "Broken Brights," is available for a limited time to download free via the triple j web site. Stone says on the ...

We know what you’re thinking… Hasn’t this been done before?  Yes… but not like this.  David Dann takes this beautiful vocal and melody and adds an innovative feel that gives the track a perfect balance between chill house music and indie rock. The style is representational of the signature sound Dann has developed through his numerous productions. [...]

New music from David Dann as he remixes “Big Jet Plane” from Angus and Julia Stone.

“Big Jet Plane” is one of those songs that lends itself incredibly well to remixes. The simple, easily maleable melodic syncopations, it’s soulful/tuneful vocals, many of the right ingredients that make for the best indie pop remixes are here. That said, LA’s David Dann is certainly not the first producer to attempt to harness “Big [...]

Hot young LA producer David Dann has taken Australian siblings Julia Stone">Angus & Julia Stone’s ‘Big Jet Plane’ and reworked it into a slick electro jam. Combining the indie guitars and gentle melodies of the original with house-influenced rhythms takes some skill, but it’s no surprise that Dann has created something both mesmerising and catchy. The [...]

David Dann's remix of Julia Stone">Angus & Julia Stone's "Big Jet Plane" is a gorgeous introspective journey that's equally effective on a dance floor as it is on the drive home from work.

Angus and Julia Stone aparecieron en el mundo de la música en 2006, sin embargo, su popularidad ha crecido poco a poco y de manera constante, especialmente gracias al lanzamiento de dos muy buenas producciones, varios EP’s y a la promoción que han conseguido por su aparición en el soundtrack de diversos programas de televisión, lo que de hecho nos llevó a recomendarlos en Under hace algún tiempo. A finales del año pasado la banda terminó de promocionar su más reciente álbum, aprovechando para anunciar que se tomarían un largo...
