Our wonderkid, Mr. Angus Stone (aka “Lady Of The Sunshine” or “He of the ever-morphing facial hair”) has just scored some awesome praise for his solo album nationwide.

My favourite quote of all comes from the Newcastle Herald claiming that “C&C Music Factory had ‘Things That Make You Go, Mmm’, and the first album from Angus Stone’s side project – Lady Of The Sunshine – has songs that make you go ‘Ahhh’.”

Smoking Gun in my honest opinion is a dang fine listen. It’s a great journey through twee folky acoustic bliss delving into some serious blues grunt guitar licks.  Listen to White Rose Parade here, listen to more tracks on his myspace – www.myspace.com/ladyofthesunshine

And just to top off how cool this album is (even though it’s hard to go past C&C Music Factory), it was all recorded in an old water tank. I’m sure it looked just like one of these:

Calling all Angus and Julia fans… Angus Stone has just announced his solo project under the name Lady Of The Sunshine. Rolling out thick and fast, the album is electric lick of goodness mixed with classic brother and sister duo material.

Check out the first track cut to some surf video on Swellnet ‘White Rose Parade’.
