Indie-pop group Lime Garden have just unveiled their inaugural masterpiece, “One More Thing,” a captivating mix of tracks that seamlessly oscillate between robust, lilting compositions and lighter, dreamier, fun melodies.
Vocalist and guitarist Chloe Howard delves into the essence of the album, revealing, “A significant portion of the songs explore the melancholic aspects of life. While we are on this incredible journey as a band, there is also the unglamorous reality of everyday life that often goes unnoticed.”
Since their musical debut in 2020, Lime Garden have been the subject of fervent whispers and acclaim as the new “must see” band. The infectious hum began with “Surf N Turf,” followed by the soulful “Fever” and the enthralling “Sick & Tired,” propelling the band into a constant conversation.
Consisting of Chloe Howard (vocals, guitar), Leila Deeley (lead guitar), Tippi Morgan (bass) and Annabel Whittle (drums), Lime Garden have not only shared stages with The Big Moon but have also appeared at elite international festivals with its distinctive sound.
“One More Thing” builds into the spellbinding opener, “Love Song,” where avant-garde guitars and haunting vocals guide the listener through a fascinating sonic journey. Highlights of the album include her personal favorite, “Mother,” a captivating shoegaze piece featuring taut percussion and lightly melancholic timbres enriched with strident, dreamy harmonics.
The song “Pop Star” explores the emotional duality of working a mundane job while pursuing a passion for music, while “Pine” floats over shiny surfaces, creating a ghostly soundscape with gentle modulations. “I Want To Be You” injects indie-pop with new wave-lite influences, offering a poignant sense of longing through jagged, swinging textures.
“Fear” delves into the awareness of incipient anxiety, enveloping listeners in shifting, nervous harmonics that reveal tarnished pewter undertones in Howard’s voice. The slow, dirge-like “It” provides a moving canvas for Howard to show his melancholic sadness and vulnerability through the remarkable instrumentation of his voice.
“One More Thing” emerges as a captivating tapestry of indie-pop, navigating through a wide range of stylistic nuances and emotional landscapes, establishing Lime Garden as a leading force in the indie music realm.
