Lime Garden

Produced by Charlie Andrew (Wolf Alice, alt-J), with additional production from drummer Annabel Whittle, Maybe Not Tonight reflects the band’s rapid evolution. Glitchy vocal fragments, hypnotic drum lines, garage-rock guitars, detuned synths and even bongos weave together into immersive, richly detailed songs. Many began life as Whittle’s home-produced demos, drawing influence from Bon Iver, A.G. Cook, and Jim-E Stack, while pulling from a wide pool of inspirations including Magdalena Bay, The Breeders, St. Vincent, and New Order.

Across the record, particularly on tracks like ‘Body’, ‘Lifestyle’ and ‘All Bad Parts’, Lime Garden confront the uneasy process of trying to change personal habits and face uncomfortable truths. “Part of the ethos of the record is about addressing, rather than ignoring, all the shitty things you’ve done,” Howard explains. “You have to actually face up to yourself.”

At its core, Maybe Not Tonight is a communal outpouring: “By making this record, we’ve come back to what it felt like when we started the band. When we were 17 and thought we were the shit, and nobody could tell us different. We’ve got this fresh feeling that we deserve to be here. That’s a special thing.”
