More Angus Stone

Tangled up in blue

The sullen measured redolent resonances Angus laid down in "Where Do You Go" cracked my already fractured heart. But the breaking led to the putting back together. The regroup. The healing tide.  When I heard it for the first time, I had to hold my own hand. I need to let it marinate in my conscious. I had to let it envelope my my skin.

His words on the You Tube video.
"You have my permission to dislike if this song doesn't change your life".  For some reason, it did. If even on a molecular level.


It was one of those songs that slithered into my psyche. "Uh huh Where is that you go" The lyrics may seem simplistic but there is nothing simple about it you know sometimes you need to go deep.  Where is that you go? Dope Lemon just popped in the sidebar due to some algorithmic effect. Sometimes that shit scares me. But I wind up finding some lovely songs.

Maybe he's just talking to himself

 Dope Lemon is the lustrous side project of Angus Stone. "You gonna be alright.  We gonna be alright."  The pedal steel, the cascading percussion and the lilting lyrics. The hallucinogenic stylized video is dank with mushroom clouds and gauzy figurines. It is hypnotizing.

 He is basically consoling a friend or a lover. Is he telling them not to worry he won't leave. Or after a few more listens, I went deep to think perhaps the person is puking his drugs out and the vitals were off kilter. He slows the roll of his already low rumbling voice to assure them they aren't going to visit the Grim Reaper tonight. The percussion rises like a friend's tough love.  It all slips into a the melting of piano keys. I adore this song. There isn't much more I can say.

I don't know why Dope Lemon isn't getting more cred. Dope is dope.

She wore lemon

"This track is about 9 hours too short."

"It felt like drowning and flying at the same time and I absolutely loved it. I'm so calmed now."

Few bands give me chills when I listen to them for the first time. This band does, every song. A+
