On his second album as Dope Lemon, Smooth Big Cat, Angus Stone has made an album about a bluesy musician wiling away his days with sex, drugs and melodies. It’s a relaxed, creamy ode to the rock and roll lifestyle on which Angus Stone sings of drinking while blues records play and of girls who beckon with their bodies while riding mechanical bulls.
Dope Lemon’s debut album Honey Bones came out over three years ago was well received and had more of a crunch to it, which made it feel grittier and perhaps more earnest and reflective. Smooth Big Cat is more of a coordinated atmosphere; dark and seductive whilst still playful, like a big cat stalking its prey - it’s carefully precise and graceful.
There’s floating influences of bluesy Californian folk, harmonicas and peachy percussion, with claves ringing out like the sounds of coconuts, trembling waves of guitar and small soulful strips of guitar riffs, all compacting into a feeling like a fog or a smoke descending upon your mood. (X-Press)
