  "account": "Angus & Julia Stone's new album, Karaoke Bar, captures a sense of happiness and joy that its siblings experienced during their Living Room Sessions tour in 2024. The pair had an enjoyable time playing major theater venues like the Royal Albert Hall, L'Olympia in Paris, and the Sydney Opera House. The intimate tour gave them the opportunity to write and record new music in various studios across the world. The album, released now, showcases the duo's experiences and feelings while making music together, with a focus track \"The Start\" and opening number \"Karaoke Bar\" reflecting their happiness. Notable recording locations include Greece's Carpet Factory studio, France's Miraval Studios, and the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales in Australia. Angus & Julia Stone, known for their multi-platinum sales and ARIA Awards, are set to embark on a North American tour this September and continue their Australasian tour in February and March 2027.",
  "summary": "The Stones' last global tour was so touching, so energizing, the sibling act used the trek as the creative springboard for their new album, \"Karaoke Bar.\"",
