Nepo babies are everywhere nowadays: in movies, on high fashion runways, all over your Pinterest boards, but not in self-titled ‘best band in the world’ Lime Garden who have blessed us with their newest single ‘Nepotism (baby)’. Following a series of impressive releases since 2021, it sets the band on a solid path to enter the mainstream of alternative music.  

Brilliantly produced by Ali Chant who has previously worked on Sorry’s ‘Anywhere But Here’ and Dry Cleaning’s ‘Stumpworked’, it’s not a surprise that it’s reminiscent of 90s grunge anthems. Arguably a more accessible track than some of their previous songs such as the brilliant ‘Clockwork’ from 2021, they make sure to feature a beautiful blend of guitar and percussion. 

It’s a love song to an inaccessible lifestyle. The lyrics contemplate the adoration, frustration and confusion most of us possess when it comes to those who seem to just be able to do whatever they want with their parents’ money. Lead vocalist Chloe Howard describes it as: “imagining my  life as if I was someone born into fame. Writing the track gave me the feeling of being a teenager again, writing songs in my bedroom using three chords or less. The sound of this song pays homage to the beginnings of this band as four angsty teens who love guitars.”

With more of a mainstream sound than some of their previous songs such as the brilliant ‘Clockwork’ from 2021, they make sure to feature a beautiful blend of guitar and percussion . 

They’re bound to be doing big things in the next couple years so make sure to catch them soon as they’re currently on tour for the next few months with an album expected later this year.
