Let’s cut to the chase. the captivating third, self titled album from ANGUS & JULIA STONE, is the best record the siblings have ever made. A record born of spontaneity, and totally unplanned.
By November 2013 the tracking was done, with mixing completed by Billy Bush in March 2014. Four years on from their last joint effort, Angus & Julia have delivered an album that defies expectations. Call it a coming of age or a re-invention, but the new self titled record by Angus & Julia is the most exciting, visceral listen yet

One of France's most respected pop acts, Les Innocents were a jangly pop band that released four albums between 1989 and 1999, all of which displayed its leaders' (J.P. Nataf and Jean-Christophe Urbain) fine songwriting skills and musical craftsmanship. Their career was boosted in 1987 by the success of their "Jodie" single, and their first three LPs spawned many other hits, from "Colore" to "Un Autre Finistère." Though those first LPs (1989's Cent Metres au Paradis, 1992's Fous à Lier, and 1995's Post Partum) sealed the band's popularity, the commercial failure of their fourth and last LP (1999's Les Innocents) initiated a separation process, J.P. Nataf going solo to explore new musical and lyrical territories. A career-spanning compilation was released in 2003 (Meilleurs Souvenirs), and ten years after their last studio recording, rumors of a reunion tour spread. They re-formed in 2015 and released Mandarine.

After gathering broad critical and public acclaim for his first two albums - “Feather & Stone” and “Skybound” - Tom took time out to rediscover his passion for the guitar and love of song-writing. It was a journey that took him from the wilds of Devon, through the foothills of India, the mountains of Southern Spain, and ended in California. The end result was “The Uncarved Block - Part One” which showcases his masterful guitar-playing and the raw, confessionary depth of his lyrics and voice. The man who co‐wrote the song 'Better', the modern day classic that has become entwined into the fabric of so many people's lives, has garnered broad appeal over the years, not only as a dextrous musician but also for a knack to wear his heart on his sleeve & connect in 'song' with his audience. Whilst Tom's music has been placed in numerous Hollywood films, his achingly beautiful voice has also been the backdrop to some of the nation's most exciting moments over the last few years, from the Beijing Olympics to the coverage of the 2012 Royal Wedding. Since the release of his first two albums, his songs have also been covered by the likes of Dame Shirley Bassey to Boyzone, as well as having respected names such as Tom Waits, Rufus Wainwright & Gary Barlow (to name a few), tipping their hats to him. The success of “Feather & Stone” was built via word of mouth and his irresistible live shows; however, for “Skybound” Baxter decided to exemplify “creative ownership” and funded the recording by creating ten canvases, each a visual interpretation of a track on the album. The pieces were sold to eager admirers, before being displayed at the Richard Dennis Gallery in London. It’s an unusual multi-media template that Baxter intends to use again as he works on a new art project. “It’s how I intend to continue in terms of music, because it keeps me fresh. One medium feeds off the other.” Few albums can claim to have been written in Devon, India, Spain, and California but if you listen closely you may soon find yourself transported to some otherly place. The "Uncarved Block- Part One" is now available & those who discover Tom Baxter rarely look back. Witness him live, and you’re part of that rare experience of an audience totally captivated by what they’re watching.
