LIME GARDEN | MAYBE NOT TONIGHT (SOFTPACK)

Brighton four-piece Lime Garden release their self-reckoning second album, Maybe Not Tonight, via So Young Records. It includes the punch-drunk lead single, '23'. Fizzing with the anticipation of stepping into a club at the very start of a night out, '23' sets the tone for the record in full. Bouncy basslines and looping synths pull the listener straight onto the dancefloor, conjuring the bright, ecstatic glow of possibility. Yet beneath it's euphoric rush lies a distinctly mid-20s anxiety: the realization that adulthood has arrived, whether you feel ready for it or not.
