Dope Lemon releases new single MIAMI BABY from forthcoming album KIMOSABÈ

Akin to its namesake, 'Miami Baby' is a radiant and steezy slice of poised indie-rock. Driven by its unwavering rhythmic section, the groove-laden track glides along gracefully as syncopated bass and deftly composed guitars intertwine amid the effortless vocals of enigmatic frontman Angus Stone. The dreamy and anthemic chorus recalls the vibe of a psychedelic-infused summer, bursting with an explosion of sunshine.

'Kimosabè' is a divine and open-armed universe, boasting ethereal and mesmerising soundscapes, that transcends the status quo. It's the first DOPE LEMON album that reveals the face of Angus Stone, the project's brainchild, on its cover. He comments: "This record is everything that's me. In the past, the artwork has been 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. 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. So putting myself on the cover just felt right."

Most recent album 'Rose Pink Cadillac' peaked at #1 on the ARIA Vinyl Chart and ARIA Album Chart and was crowned as triple j's Feature Album in 2022. The record's title track placed at #27 in triple j's Hottest 100 (2021).
