Angus Stone was born on 27 April and grew up in Sydney. His parents, John and Kim Stone, were both folk musicians.[2] Stone's older sisters are Catherine (born ca. ) and Julia Stone (born 13 April ).[2] Stone attended Newport Primary School and Barrenjoey High School.[2] At primary school he joined the school band with his father teaching and his sisters accompanying.[3] At family gatherings when the children performed, Stone played trombone, Catherine on saxophone and Julia on trumpet with Kim singing and John on keyboard or guitar.[3] At about the age of 14 years his parents separated and soon after he started writing pop songs.[2][3] Stone joined a band in high school as lead singer playing both covers and original songs.

The band performed at numerous local community events.

While on a holiday with his sister to South America, Stone showcased his musical side to Julia, "[Angus] was writing amazing songs [he] had shown me how to play guitar in Bolivia, and those songs had gotten me through that year".[3] By Stone was playing at open mic nights, sometimes Julia performed backing vocals – their first such gig, at the Coogee Bay Hotel, they performed "Tears".[4] After playing split sets with each singing backing vocals to the other's material, in , they formed a duo, Angus & Julia Stone.[3] In March that year the pair recorded their debut extended play, Chocolates and Cigarettes, which was released in August.

Since then the group has released two EPs, two compilation albums and five studio albums.

– Lady of the Sunshine: Smoking Gun

In April , after touring for over a year in support of the duo's first studio album, A Book Like This (September ), Stone released his debut solo album, Smoking Gun, under the pseudonym, Lady of the Sunshine.[2][5] It was recorded over six weeks during with Finn (Govinda Doyle) – who also played drums and bass guitar – in a converted old water tank on Finn's property in North Queensland.[6][7] In an interview on national radio station, Triple J, with Richard Kingsmill, Stone said that the album came out of "growing an appetite for wanting to rock out".

Stone explained that he had played in rock bands while in high school, they covered material by Rage Against the Machine and Red Hot Chili Peppers – these influences are loosely present on Smoking Gun.[5] To accompany the album Stone wrote "Every emotion in my head has its own voice and this record is what came of them I wanted these songs to have their own style.

I enjoyed watching how the songs took on their own ride, most from the simplest of ideas".[6] The album reached the top&#;50 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[8] One of his tracks, "Big Jet Plane", from Smoking Gun was later re-recorded by Angus & Julia Stone and released by the duo as a single in May [6][9]

In March the duo's second album, Down the Way, debuted at No.&#;1.[10] By it was certified 3×&#;platinum by ARIA.[11] It was the highest-selling album by an Australian artist in [12]Down the Way peaked in the top&#;30 on the French Albums Chart and stayed in the top&#; for 86&#;weeks.[13][14] At the ARIA Music Awards of the duo won 'Album of the Year' for Down the Way and 'Single of the Year' for "Big Jet Plane".[15][16] Their single "Big Jet Plane" was voted No.&#;1 in the Triple J Hottest in [17] After a world tour promoting Down the Way, Stone and his sister parted ways, according to Stone with a "tip of the hat and strolled in different directions".[18] In a Rolling Stone (Australia) interview, Julia revealed the duo had started recording tracks for a third album, in January , but shelved them indefinitely: "It was too much to think we could only pick six songs each… We were both in a place where we really wanted creative space to go in whatever direction we wanted so we were like 'let’s just take a year out'".[19] She elaborated that those songs were unlikely to be heard, but maintained the pair would reunite after their solo projects.[19]

He told Surfing World Magazine, "[r]ecording with Julia is cool but we both have our hands on the wheel. This was an opportunity to grab the wheel and do some burn-outs".[20] It was released in Australia on 13 July which peaked at No.&#;2.[10][21] The title track from the album was released as the lead single in March that year as a free download on Triple J's Home and Hosed.[22] The second single, "Bird on the Buffalo", is a metaphor for a musing relationship between lovers.[23] and the video features the actress Isabel Lucas.

According to Indie London's Jack Foley, the third single, "Wooden Chair" is "mesmerising in a low-key, effortlessly brilliant manner that also manages to include an intoxicating background whistle. It’s breezy and romantic without really even trying to be".[24] It was featured in the US TV show, Private Practice, in Season 6, Episode 3 "Good Grief".[25] The fourth single, "Monsters", had its video premiered on The Huffington Post.[26] The album was certified gold by ARIA for shipment of 35, copies.[27][28]

The album was built upon childhood influences such as Bob Dylan and The Eagles, the end result being very Dylanesque, laid-back with some rockier elements.[29][30][31] When speaking to the Vancouver Weekly about the creation of Broken Brights he said he "discovered a lot about time".

Further elaborating, he said, "Just in general. To take a step back and let something unfold and breathe and become ripe when it says it's time".[32]

Broken Brights was released in Australia on 13 July.[33] The album was released on Nettwerk Records,[31] in the US, EMI in Australia and UK, and Discograph in France.

Foley lauded the release as "[n]othing short of stunning his most personal work to date demonstrates his versatility. It’s steeped in classic song-writing values, sound-checking without directly referencing the likes of the great American song-writers, from Petty to Dylan via Neil Young".[24] Jen Wilson reviewed Broken Brights for Beat Magazine saying, "within minutes you’re transported to another time Stone appears as a chameleon storyteller throughout Broken Brights, adapting with each theme and musical genre".[34] Tony Hardy from Consequence of Sound said "There’s always something unexpected around the corner".[30] Triple J made Broken Brights their Album of the Week upon its release, and described it as "a dreamy, chilled, nostalgic record which shows off Angus' unique songwriting".[35]

The "Monsters" single was released on 26 February by Nettwerk Productions.

It contains an edited version of the song that was previously released on Broken Brights. The song was cut from 5 minutes and 20 seconds to only 4 minutes and 3 seconds. The single also contains a previously unreleased tune titled "In the Glow".
