Indie-pop outfit Lime Garden has just unveiled their inaugural masterpiece, “One More Thing,” a captivating melange of tracks that seamlessly oscillate between robust and melodious compositions and lighter, dreamier, and more playful tunes.
Vocalist/guitarist Chloe Howard delves into the essence of the album, revealing, “A significant portion of the songs explores the melancholy aspects of life. While we’re on this incredible journey as a band, there’s also the unglamorous day-to-day reality that often goes unnoticed.”
Since their musical debut in 2020, Lime Garden has been the subject of fervent whispers and acclaim as the ‘must-hear’ new band. The infectious buzz began with “Surf N Turf,” followed by the soul-stirring “Fever” and the enthralling “Sick & Tired,” propelling the band into constant conversation.
Comprising members Chloe Howard (vocals, guitar), Leila Deeley (lead guitar), Tippi Morgan (bass), and Annabel Whittle (drums), Lime Garden has not only shared stages with The Big Moon but also graced elite international festivals with their distinctive sound.
“One More Thing” unfolds with the mesmerizing opener, “Love Song,” where edgy guitars and haunting vocals lead the listener through a spellbinding sonic journey. The album’s highlights include the personal favourite, “Mother,” a captivating shoegaze piece featuring taut percussion and slightly melancholic timbres enriched with dreamy, strident harmonics.
The track “Pop Star” explores the emotional duality of working a mundane job while pursuing a passion for music, while “Pine” drifts on shimmering surfaces, creating a ghostly soundscape with gentle modulations. “I Want To Be You” injects indie-pop with new wave-lite influences, offering a poignant sensation of longing through jagged, oscillating textures.
“Fear” delves into the consciousness of incipient anxiety, enveloping listeners in moody and jittery harmonics that unveil tarnished pewter undertones in Howard’s vocals. The slow and dirge-like “It” provides a poignant canvas for Howard to bare wistful sorrow and vulnerability through the remarkable instrument of her voice.
“One More Thing” emerges as a captivating tapestry of indie-pop, navigating through a diverse range of stylistic nuances and emotional landscapes, establishing Lime Garden as a standout force in the indie music realm.
