Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast
from News Talks at B.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
But does she the same more apprecia, She didn't. This
(00:38):
is Lime Cordial. That song is called Happiness Season. The
new album is Enough of the Sweet Talk, and our
music reviewers Dell Clifford has been listening Caldas Delgo.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Morning, Calda Morning. That's actually turned out to be I
sink my favorite track on the album, and I'm always yeah,
I'm always influenced by the artists themselves when they put
things up on social media and they're like, oh, this
is actually our favorite and you're like, oh is it
And I'm like, oh no, wait, stay with your own thoughts.
It's just this really infectious. I mean, a lot of
(01:09):
the album kind of has that real upbeat, infectious sort
of vibe about it. But Happiness Season there's just something
I don't know, I just think melodically and the style
of track is just a really good one. This is
a bit of a journey of a relationship. This album
so a concept album for these guys, which they said
kind of happened before, where sometimes the concept comes to
them after they've written a few songs, where this one
(01:31):
was like, actually, I think we're telling a journey somewhere
along the line. Perhaps it was going to be like
a French menu where you had all these little entrees
into the main and so there's kind of pepperings of
food throughout some of the songs. But it actually is
a relation relationship journey. So you start off with all
these quiet, bright sort of songs. It starts with Pedestal,
(01:51):
which you know, when you find someone you love, you
pop them up on that pedestal. But also if you
listen to the lyrics, it's still got that kind of
tongue in check thing that these guys are so good
at doing yeah, where you know, maybe yeah, maybe you're
not pray using their feet at the bottom of the pedestals.
It's very interesting listen once you delve into those lyrics,
which I think is great. Happiness Season, which is my favorite,
(02:13):
is a midpoint in the album where suddenly after that
you kind of come out of Happiness Season and then
what happens to a relationship from there. Not necessarily that
you're going down to some dark, gloomy places with the
song or anything, but I think they've sort of been
quite good at capturing some of those raw elements of
(02:33):
you know, they suddenly relationships are affected by other things
and society, Yeah, pressure and just stuff changes as you
are with someone for a long time, or friendships as well,
I suppose. Yeah, yeah, Imposter Syndrome is a is a
great song. I think probably the actually speaks more to
their own relationships to each other in the music industry
(02:55):
as well.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I thought, do you know, I had not appreciated they've
been around for like fifteen years now.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They had and which yeah, they played the Alien Circuit
for a long time and lots of those indie kind
of festivals. But I think, you know, this is only
their third album for I mean, given that they're brothers,
I guess they've been together forever. But honing that music stuff, Yeah,
it's surprising, isn't it. And I think what's happened now
(03:22):
is they've kind of found their groove and then what
they do, which is that indie pop. This has got
that low fi pop sort of resonance to it. Imposter
Syndrome talks about like how prevalent tol poppy syndrome is
in Australia, which I dare say can be the case
here in New Zealand. Yeah, you don't want to stand
out too much, but you also want to do something cool,
so you kind of hone your craft to make sure
(03:43):
it's not gonna.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's a very difficult space to exist in, isn't it.
It's very I want to excel, but I don't want
to stand out.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah yeah right, And in that somehow they've still managed
to excel, So I think that's due credit to what
they do. There's always some beautiful brass sections and some
real flourishes in some of the later songs on this
album with the trumpet and stuff they put in kind
of country influence. There's a few steal guitars and a
couple of the songs, and I think they're just good
(04:10):
at that production that keeps it quite interesting. And because
they play like every instrument known to man, so they
sort of pepping that in, but not in a way
that you go, oh, that was a bit, you know,
they sort of meant they blend it really well. And
again because their lyrics are really I think they do
really delve into their emotions really well. But also sometimes
(04:30):
it's just a bit of cheek to it, which I
guess maybe that's the Australian ye we're willing to take that.
These guys are going on tour, so they're going to
be in New Zealand and October. They've talked a lot
about being eco warriors, and they're like, but then how
do you tour the globe and jet planes when you
(04:51):
know that's what your ethos is. So they're working real
hard on their sustainability. So anyone buying tickets or going
onto any information about their shows, you'll see heaps of
stuff where they're tracking their emissions, talking about how they
can reduce their carbon footprints. They are using evs wherever
they can, reducing waste, and then every venue they're asking
(05:12):
to do something, it is really obvious that they're helping
the environment. So that's kind of cool. And also I
wonder if they'll have their beer they've made like a
carbon neutral bear. Oh so maybe they'll sell that at
their gigs your lago lago Okay, yeah, so everything that,
all the processes of making that beer. Yeah, we'll go
back into the environment.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Basically very good. Okay, So I want you give it.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Happy your word's not mine?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Stelle love it.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It's a nine out of ten.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Really great.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Listen, Yeah, it's really grown on me if you can
go from start to finish a couple of times and
then pick out your faves because you get to follow
that sort of glowing in demise.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Ah yeah, okay, cool, that makes sense. Hey, thank you.
We're going to have a bit more of a listen
to Enough of the Sweet Talk by Lime Cordy. We
are just their third album, which is interesting given they
have been around on the scene for a wee while now.
But nine out of ten that still reckons. It's worth
all have a bit more of a listen. Pagette a
good song to play for you in a couple of minutes.
