Free Weekly Download: Redeem Your Track

Angus & Julia Stone have released their sixth studio album, Cape Forestier. And now you can add the title-track to your own music collection; it’s the Free Weekly Download at WNRN.org!

“Cape Forestier, our latest record, holds a really special place in our hearts – a chapter in the ever-unfolding book about the road we’re traveling together. It feels reminiscent of our earlier records in terms of style; there’s a real acoustic rawness to the sound. However, the songwriting and performances are naturally tied to the humans we are right now, with all the branches of experience hanging in there. We couldn’t be more excited to share this music. It’s been an incredible experience writing and recording these songs together.” -Angus & Julia
