Album Review: Dope Lemon - Hounds Tooth

Hounds Tooth, the latest release from Angus Stone (known to most as one half of sibling duo Angus & Julia Stone) under the pseudonym Dope Lemon is a collection of songs with rich instrumentals and well-formed melodies.

Stone combines flute, horns and melodic bass to produce a South American funk vibe on percussive opener Home Soon. Neon Lights follows, bringing a change of pace with a sweet guitar line, softer vocals and charming lyrics that demonstrate Stone's strong songwriting abilities. Warm, reverb-laden Hounds Tooth precedes catchy EP highlight Lovers Left To Die and hazy, mesmerising closing track Where Do You Go.

Each song on Hounds Tooth is interesting and captivating — well-written and well-produced.
