Review: Flared, blazered indie rockers Dope Lemon don leopard-print scarves and pink supercars as they glide, sunshades on, down the street to the tune of their new album 'Rose Pink Cadillac'. After the release of their recent single of the same name, the album is decidedly electro-funky and sultry in feel, with the band reconcile every mood between the styles of Tame Impala and Anderson Paak, and teasing a stinking funk to the smooth production that belies each vocal performance by Angus Stone. Coming to CD and LP, one lucky fan who preorders the album will receive - yes - a real 1960s rose pink cadillac with their preorder.

Review: Angus from Angus and Julia Stone has an unearthly beauty to his voice so we’re always partial to checking out what he’s turned his hand to. This is his fifth studio album under his moniker Dope Lemon and it follows his acclaimed 2023 album, Kimosabè. There’s certainly an axis between ‘Golden Wolf’ and some of the early Angus and Julia Stone, but with more of a Killers-esque rock engine to it. Elsewhere, ‘Electric Green Lambo’ takes us on a detour through some funky, soulful grooves that would suit blazing a cigar in the Havana sun. And the sleek ‘Sugarcat’ has the strongest beat of the set and it’s a guaranteed mood bump every time you hear it.
