On that debut, Lime Garden emerged with a singular voice. Informed by a whole variety of references, they quickly felt unmistakable. On this follow-up, that rings true but is endlessly more golden and polished. ‘Always Talking About You’ stands as a high point of that as singer Chloe Howard muses on modern dating like a jester at first, before slamming you with the core gut-punch, succinctly summing up the suggestion that maybe none of us ever get over anything. It’s a song that dances between timeless universality and modern existentialism; a balance Lime Garden have mastered.
Around her, the band weaves a dynamic sonic. That’s another thing that defines all the heroes of British music. All the leading acts in our history seem to operate under the belief that if it works and if it’s exciting, it can stay even if it’s not strictly ‘rock’. Maybe Not Tonight embodies that as while all ten songs are the making of a tight band of rock musicians, each is a world in itself. From the night-out-in-a-bottle, electro-tinged ‘Maybe Not Tonight’, the outright high-octane ‘Body’, the math-rock meets sleaze sound of ‘All Bad Parts’, all these references work seamlessly but only have to make sense to Lime Garden’s own brains.
