LISTEN TO GOLDEN WOLF

GOLDEN WOLF blends reflective introspection with wild sonic landscapes. If KIMOSABÈ felt like a classic road anthem album for a cosmic journey, GOLDEN WOLF opens the door to a wilder, more uncertain frontier. The songs here are still anchored by Stone’s trademark grooves, but they feel looser, more windswept, capturing the heat of endless desert days and the cool mystery of moonlit nights.

Songs like ‘Electric Green Lambo’ swagger in with confidence – smooth, effortless, and undeniably cool. ‘She’s All Time’ conjures visions of sun-soaked dreams, poolside dancing with an ethereal, unknowable muse. ‘Sugarcat’ slinks through shadows, playful yet elusive, leaving only traces of its presence behind. And then there’s ‘John Belushi’, stirring up a whirlwind of reckless energy, arms wide open in the chaos. It’s big, bold, and impossible to pin down, echoing with laughter and wildness, though its true meaning always seems just out of reach. Each track invites you deeper, without ever fully giving itself away.

This new chapter reveals Stone at his most open yet – peeling back layers of silky sheened memories, imagination and thought-provoking insights. It unveils what he’s built over the many years of the Dope Lemon Temple, where so many listeners go to dip their minds in the music, only to find themselves in another land. In KIMOSABÈ, we saw Stone reflect on his youth and the roads that shaped him. Now, in GOLDEN WOLF, he’s grappling with the question of where the road leads next.
