Down the Way by Angus and Julia Stone
Down the Way is an album by Angus and Julia Stone, released in 2010. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Big Jet Plane”, on 4 lists and voted number one once.
Down the Way, the second album from sibling duo Angus and Julia Stone, came out in Australia through EMI on 12 March 2010 and went straight to number 1 on the ARIA chart. They produced it themselves, and it's hushed, rootsy indie folk: unhurried acoustic arrangements and two voices that sound like they've been harmonizing since the crib.
"Big Jet Plane" is the one that took off, a lazy, sun-warmed tune that won the ARIA for Single of the Year, and the album swept Album of the Year, Best Adult Alternative Album, Best Cover Art and Producer of the Year the same night, five wins in all from nine nominations. "Santa Monica Dream" found a new audience years later in the 2015 video game Life Is Strange, and a deluxe edition added the Red Berries disc of earlier EP tracks.
