DOPE LEMON is one of Australia's most celebrated indie artists and, today, has announced Kimosabè, his new album due September 1st via BMG, along with the self-produced title track and new video. DOPE LEMON has also announced a fall North American tour.

Brimming with melodic guitars and palliative drums, “Kimosabè” was inspired by the comedy cult classic film Step Brothers, with the track built around a sample from the film.

"This record is everything that's me,” notes DOPE LEMON. “In the past, the artwork has been anonymous in a way because I was trying to explore these styles, and having this shield in front of me was beautiful – I could sort of slink around in the shadows and wouldn't have the public make judgment on the person behind it. This record, I had moments of clarity reflecting on my childhood, and I was able to see where I want to be in the future. So putting myself on the cover just felt right."
