Lime Garden released their second studio album Maybe Not Tonight on April 10th via So Young Records, following the singles 'Maybe Not Tonight', '23', 'All Bad Parts' and 'Downtown Lover'. Unfolding like a full night out — from the rush of early evening anticipation to the blurry aftermath of bad decisions — the record charted the pleasures and pitfalls of youth with equal parts humour and vulnerability.

“The album is about a night out, from start to finish,” vocalist and guitarist Chloe Howard explained ahead of the release. “As the night progresses, you're having a great time, until your ex walks in with someone else. You hate the way you look but rather than going home, you press the big red button and get even more drunk. Eventually, you take yourself home full of melancholy, chaos and anger.”

The record arrived as the follow-up to the band's critically acclaimed 2024 debut One More Thing, which captured the raw live energy that earned them slots at festivals including Glastonbury and Green Man. With Maybe Not Tonight, Lime Garden expanded their signature “wonk-pop” sound upwards and outwards, delivering their most intoxicating and luminous material to date.

Written in the aftermath of a period of intense personal upheaval — described by the band as a collective “mass breakup” — the album found Lime Garden grappling with grief, drinking, body image and self-esteem, while leaning into a shared, self-aware hedonism across all ten tracks.

Produced by Charlie Andrew (Wolf Alice, alt-J), with additional production from drummer Annabel Whittle, Maybe Not Tonight reflected the band's rapid evolution: glitchy vocal fragments, hypnotic drum lines, garage-rock guitars, detuned synths and even bongos wove together into immersive, richly detailed songs. Many began life as Whittle's home-produced demos, drawing on influences including Bon Iver, A. G. Cook, Danny L Harle, Jim-E Stack, Scissor Sisters, Magdalena Bay, The Breeders, St. Vincent, Lily Allen, The Stone Roses and New Order.

“By making this record, we've come back to what it felt like when we started the band,” the band reflected. “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.”

With the album now out in the world, the upcoming shows offer European audiences their first chance to hear Maybe Not Tonight played live in full force.
