Lime Garden

Lime Garden formed in Brighton in 2019, Chloe Howard, Tippi Morgan, Leila Deeley, and Annabel Whittle developing a sound that drew on indie pop, art pop, and post-punk in equal measure. Howard's songwriting was immediately distinctive — melodic and hook-driven but with a lyrical intelligence and emotional directness that set them apart from their peers. The band's sound was bright and energetic without being lightweight.

A series of well-received singles built a following before the band released their debut album 'One More Thing' (2023) on Chess Club Records. The record was a confident and accomplished statement — melodic, inventive, and showing a band with a genuine sense of their own identity. Tracks like 'Sick' and 'Clockwork' demonstrated a range that went beyond the indie pop label, and the album earned them widespread critical praise and a growing reputation as one of the best new British bands.

Lime Garden continue to develop rapidly, their live shows becoming increasingly assured and their songwriting growing in ambition with each release. They are a band who have found their own lane within British indie music — melodic enough to appeal broadly, but with enough intelligence and invention to satisfy more demanding listeners. One of the most genuinely promising new British acts of the 2020s.
