Description
For early followers of Lime Cordiale, this debut album was a long time coming. Since 2012, brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach have released three EPs – the latest, Road to Paradise, in 2015 – and since then, they’ve been writing, recording and refining the sound that’s won them a seriously dedicated fanbase over the course of half a decade.
But refining doesn’t mean streamlining, and for the long-awaited Permanent Vacation, they’ve expanded their influences even further, and in some fascinating directions. The Sydney duo has spent most of 2017 in the studio with producer Dave Hammer (Washington, Thundamentals, Born Lion) where they’ve had time to explore and experiment in a way that they haven’t been able to before. The result is a very varied record, and if you’ve been struggling to put this band in a neat genre box so far, this is going to make that even tougher, which is by no means a bad thing.
