← Back | Musician | 3 Music Videos
Dope Lemon, the brainchild of Australian musician Angus Stone, has subtly transformed the indie pop music landscape since 2016 with his psychedelic, dreamy tunes that immediately draw listeners into an ethereal, serene universe. His songs, filled with the vibe of summer beach parties and blessed with a serenely laid-back energy, are known for creating an immersive mood that syncs perfectly with the visual component of his music. Stone’s euphoria-laced tracks such as "Marinade", "Uptown Folks", and "Honey Bones" hold the potential to take the audience on a whimsical trip down the rabbit hole.
Stone’s outlandish creativity prospers not just in his music, but it bleeds into his music videos as well, making each one a unique work of cinematic art. "Hey You", directed by Stefan Hunt, feels like a Thompson-esque desert trip, laced with uncanny visuals and a dancing cowboy, reminiscent of an offbeat, indie Coen Brothers film. The music video for "Marinade", directed by Olly Montagu, combines animation reminiscent of adult swim, gritty videography, and lo-fi aesthetics, transporting the viewers to Stone's peculiar, psychedelic wonderland. The video for "Coyote" again directed by Montagu, explores the singer's spontaneous wanderings, adding an extra layer of surreal energy to the lyrics. It's like a sense of captivating tranquility that hovers above Dope Lemon’s distinctive music - you might feel compelled to tap your feet and move your body carelessly, or maybe just lay back and soak it all in.
Now, let's talk about Mango Mussolini, Dope Lemon's unofficial band member. The blithe parrot is a regular feature on Dope Lemon's social media accounts and often accompanies Stone to his recording sessions. Apparently, Mango Mussolini also has quite a discerning ear for music, often chiming in during the recording process! This quirky interaction between man and bird definitely adds a whimsical charm to the overall Dope Lemon persona.
