Dope Lemon

A hypnotic laidback groove permeates Dope Lemon's rough n ready ride from the second the needle drops until it spins out its country-twanged, surf-baiting last - it's a fitting listen for this time of year, landing just as the last embers of summer twinkle out.

a divine, open-armed, open-ended universe. It’s the first Dope Lemon album that reveals the face of Angus Stone, the project’s impresario himself, on the album’s cover, because “this record is everything that’s me.” “In the past, the artwork has been real anonymous, in a way, because I was trying to explore these styles, and having this shield in front of me was beautiful – I could sort of slink around in the shadows and wouldn’t have the public make judgement on the person behind it,” Stone says. “This record, I had moments of clarity reflecting on my childhood and I was able to see where I want to be in the future. Putting myself on the cover just felt right.”
