Los Angeles singer/songwriter AM and Australian brother/sister duo Angus and Julia Stone put out two of the best EP’s of 2008.

AM invited some of his fellow Hotel Cafe alums to join him on his EP, entitled Side By Side – Duets Volume 1. AM made a splash early in his career by winning LA Weekly’s Singer/Songwriter Of The Year Award in 2006. He also caught the eye of KCRW’s tastemaker Nic Harcourt, who featured some AM’s earlier work on his radio program Morning Becomes Eclectic.

Angus and Julia Stone follow up their solid debut album A Book Like This with the Hollywood – EP. Angus’ voice reminds me of Paul Simon while Julia’s voice is reminiscent of Jolie Holland.
