Brimming with melodic guitars and palliative drums, “Kimosabè” was inspired by the comedy cult classic film Step Brothers, with the track built around a sample from the film. The song is another effortless offering, complemented charmingly by DOPE LEMON's sedative voice. The charismatic bass line allows the song to flow seamlessly, as the sultry production emits a tranquil atmosphere, embracing listeners in a laid-back manner. Guided by a jovial funky strut and apt lyrics – "don't go f*ck with my vibe" – the song’s motive and personality provide perception for the upcoming record. 

DOPE LEMON - KIMOSABÈ (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Kimosabè is a divine and open-armed universe, boasting ethereal and mesmerizing soundscapes that transcend the status quo. It's the first DOPE LEMON album that reveals the face of Angus Stone, the project's brainchild, on its cover. "This record is everything that's me,” notes DOPE LEMON. “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 judgment 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."


DOPE LEMON has seen support from KCRW (US), triple j, Radio 1 (UK), 6 Music (UK) and more; has garnered over 625M streams and counting across all platforms and has gained extensive support from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Deezer; and received media support from the likes of DIY Magazine (UK), Harper's Bazaar (AU), Rolling Stone (AU), NME, Sydney Morning Herald, Atwood Magazine (US), and more.  


Kimosabè will be available worldwide on Friday, September 1 via BMG. In addition to streaming on digital platforms, Kimosabè will be released on limited edition picture-disc vinyl, sea-blue vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats. Pre-order / pre-save / pre-add HERE.
