Lime Cordiale - Enough of the Sweet Talk

Following the lead of their strong co-frontmen and brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach, Aussie pop-rockers Lime Cordiale have already cemented themselves as local stars, but also a favourite export over here in the UK. 2020's '14 Steps To A Better You' broke them out of an oversaturated genre, offering an escapist dream at a time when few others knew what to do with their musical output.

Standing out with sizzling chemistry between bandmates, lush instrumental adornments and an undeniable sense of melody, the band set a new standard. While the core traits remain on a long-awaited third LP, it's increasingly clear that they're shooting for something different, something more ambitious.

Structured as a relationship unfolding, 'Enough of The Sweet Talk' takes us from blissful ignorance and adoration ('Pedestal', 'The Milk Man') through downtrodden awakenings ('Happiness Season', 'When I'm Losing It') and finally to a resigned acceptance ('Strangers'). The 13 tracks are broken up by four "French Cues", subtle voice notes which nudge us along the narrative and steer listeners gracefully through each chapter.
