DOPE LEMON – Kimosabè (Animated Picture Disc Vinyl)

‘Kimosabè’ is 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’.
