Lime Garden drop raucous new cut ‘Downtown Lover’

Their second LP hits shelves in three weeks’ time.

Lime Garden drop raucous new 'Maybe Not Tonight' cut 'Downtown Lover'

Lime Garden have continued to tease the arrival of their sophomore album ‘Maybe Not Tonight’ (due out on 10th April via So Young Records) with ‘Downtown Lover’, a scuzzy new single that sees frontwoman Chloe Howard confront her self-sabotaging approach to relationships. 

Describing how quickly the track came together, she has explained that it “came from three chords and my need to investigate my regular avoidant behaviour within romantic relationships.”

Continuing, she reflects: “I saw the phrase “downtown love” in an article online talking about some people’s constant need for something new or attention in general when dating. Through recognising this in my myself and in an attempt to try and understand why I act the way I do, I threw this one out in a matter of minutes on my acoustic guitar.”

‘Downtown Lover’ follows ‘Maybe Not Tonight’, ‘23’, and ‘All Bad Parts’ to be our fourth taste of the band’s incoming LP - a no-holds-barred sonic cocktail charting the emotional maelstrom of a messy night out.
