Angus & Julia Stone is the self-titled, third full-length album by Australian singer-songwriter duo Angus & Julia Stone. It was released on 1 August 2014 in Australia through EMI Music Australia,[7] and on the same day in the United States through American Recordings.[2] Its release was preceded by the singles "Heart Beats Slow",[3] which peaked at No. 37 in Australia,[8] "Death Defying Acts" in June, "A Heartbreak" and "Grizzly Bear" in July.[5] The videos for all four songs as well as a video for "Get Home" were directed by Jessie Hill.[9]

American Record producer Rick Rubin helped reunite the duo and co-produced the album.[10] Rubin said of the experience: "This album is extraordinary; Angus and Julia are truly unique musicians. They are authentic and pure people who do things from the heart. I've never worked with anyone like them before."[1] The album has been said to contain "blended harmonies [...] and more experimental guitar textures".[1]

The album is the highest-charting by the duo to date, reaching the top 10 in several countries including France, Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand. With an average of 67 based on 7 reviews on review aggregator Metacritic, Angus & Julia Stone received generally favourable critical reception.[11]
