In 2004 Wolfmother began appearing at several high profile music events, such as Homebake and the Big Day Out. They also released their debut self-titled EP through Modular Recordings.
In 2005 the band made their way to Los Angeles, working alongside producer Dave Sardy (of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Marilyn Manson, and Oasis fame) to record their self-titled debut album, released in October 2005.
In 2006 Wolfmother dominated the Australian Recording Industry Association awards (ARIAs), taking Best Breakthrough Album, Best Rock Album, and Best Group.
In August 2008, after headlining the Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay, Australia, bass/keyboard player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett resigned, leaving just singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale. Andrew planned to find new musicians before recording another album.
From February 2009 the new line up appeared in two secret gigs under the name Whitefeather. The band officially consists of Dave Atkins on drums, Ian Peres on bass and organ, and Aidan Nemeth as the surprise fourth member and a new guitarist. The new line up's first album, Cosmic Egg, was released in 2009.
Now drummer Dave Atkins has decided to leave the band to spend more time at home with his family; he will be temporarily be replaced by The Mooney Suzuki and Har Mar Superstar drummer Will Rockwell-Scott.
Dimension
Wolfmother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had nothing but a piece of paper, yeah
I had to write something down
And I found myself alone
And then I let go of everything
Into another dimension
Lightning crash on the hill tonight (yeah)
Then a horse came running to me
Said we're gonna go to the sanctuary
Then a storm began to blow
Into another dimension
Purple haze is in the sky
See the angels--we die
All these things we bow astride
Till we see the reasons why, oh yeah
I fell in the desert, baby, yeah
I had nothing but a piece of paper, why?
I had to write something down
But then I found myself alone
Then I let go of everything
Into another dimension
The lyrics of "Dimension" by Wolfmother describe the journey of someone who, feeling lost in the desert, finds himself by letting go of everything and entering a new dimension. The first two lines of the song set the scene: the singer is in the desert, with nothing but a piece of paper to write something down. From there, the song takes a mystical turn, as the singer speaks of lightning crashing on the hill and feeling that everything will be okay. Then a horse appears and tells the singer that they will go to a sanctuary.
The song speaks of letting go of everything and entering another dimension. This can be interpreted both as a physical journey and a metaphorical one. It could be that the singer is actually in another physical dimension or that he has entered a new state of consciousness where he has found enlightenment. The song leaves the interpretation up to the listener.
Overall, the lyrics of "Dimension" express a feeling of transcendence and the idea that sometimes we need to let go of everything in order to find our way.

@@stepbro7850 I can’t tell if you’re trolling or legitimately believe it’s a new song. If it’s the latter, then I feel obligated to inform you that this song comes from Wolfmother’s debut, self titled album - initially released in Australia in October 2005, before being released internationally at various dates the following year. The song and album are almost 16 years old, definitely not new.
The thing is thar bands releasing their classic/older material on YouTube is VERY common, especially if they’re releasing remastered versions or special editions of their earlier albums. Metallica just did that pretty recently for the release of their 30th Anniversary Remastered version of the 1991 “Black Album”.
