It has been a long time since we waited for Smooth Big Cat. Hounds Tooth, Dope Lemon's latest maxi-single, came out two years ago, and Honey Bones, the now-classic debut album, three years ago. Honey Bones has accumulated 100 million streams, allowing Dope Lemon to transcend its image as an artistic curiosity and become a true cultural phenomenon. Many are waiting to see what Angus has cooked up at Belafonte, the studio set up on his ranch, and finally, Smooth Big Cat glides onto the scene in a cloud of mischief and romance.
Smooth Big Cat doesn't sound like any other Dope Lemon record, but listening to it, you find yourself in a dreamlike dimension of God's fire. It is the quintessence of Dope Lemon distilled into a nectar worthy of the gods and a true caress on the lips of everyone. Angus played every instrument, produced and mixed all the tracks on the album. And rather than digging into his box of song ideas, he let the record come to him naturally as he entered the studio.
