Angus Stone has unveiled the next chapter of his project Dope Lemon with the release of new single “Golden Wolf”.
Described as blending indie rock with hints of psychedelic soul, the song goes on a deeply introspective journey through themes of life, death, and the mysteries beyond.
The lyrics highlight the song’s meditative essence: “Golden Wolf, take us higher; We want to be the best that we can be in this life… or the next one.”
Speaking on the single, Dope Lemon shares: “This song was written about and inspired by the next life. What we’ll take with us, and what and who will lead us there? Perhaps, in this case – the golden wolf.”
Take a listen to the single and watch the official video below:
“Golden Wolf” is Dope Lemon’s first release since his acclaimed 2023 album Kimosabè – which won the AIR Award for Best Independent Blues & Roots Album.
Dope Lemon celebrated the launch of the “Golden Wolf era” at this week’s ARIA Awards in Sydney. Stone appeared on the red carpet with an offsider dressed up with a lemonhead, who did a series of zen-like poses in the air using a special stand.
Stone was up for two ARIA nominations this week – both as Dope Lemon for Kimosabè in the Best Blues & Roots category and for his work with sister Julia in the Best Adult Contemporary Album for Cape Forestier.
Dope Lemon’s only scheduled live shows for now are at two festivals in New Zealand after Christmas, but we can only imagine 2025 is going to be a very exciting year as he gets ready to deliver more new material and performances in his Golden Wolf era.
Dope Lemon’s “Golden Wolf” is out now.
