Lime Cordiale
Lime Cordiale are an Australian pop rock group formed in 2009. It consists of brothers Oliver and Louis Leimbach, with additional members Alex Weybury, Jack Howe and Luke DiDio. They released their debut studio album Permanent Vacation in 2017. The group have performed at Groovin' the Moo and South by Southwest (SXSW). At the 2020 ARIA Music Awards they were nominated in eight categories and won Breakthrough Artist – Release for their second album, 14 Steps to a Better You (July 2020).
Lime Cordiale formed in Sydney in September 2009 as a duo by the brothers Louis Stanley Leimbach on bass guitar, trumpet, vocals and kazoo and Oliver Jay "Oli" Leimbach on guitar, clarinet and vocals. After spotting the duo at a band competition, Icehouse frontman, Iva Davies offered them a mentoring partnership and they recorded some tracks. In 2011 Lime Cordiale supported Icehouse on their tour. Also in that year the duo released three singles via Bandcamp and played over 60 live shows. By June 2012 they were joined by Brendan Champion on trombone and James Jennings on drums. The group centres around the Leimbach brothers who recognised their mutual love of all things pop and their desire to create original and exciting music.
In July 2012 Lime Cordiale independently released their five-track debut extended play Faceless Cat, including the single "Pretty Girl", which was distributed by MGM. Larry Heath of The AU Review saw the group performing that track and felt it has "a good dose of clarinet to mix in with their signature blend of pop, rock, jazz" and other genres.
Lime Cordiale's second five-track EP Falling Up the Stairs (September 2013) was issued via Chugg Music/MGM Distribution, which was produced by Daniel Denholm and provided two singles "Bullshit Aside" and "Sleeping at Your Door". For the EP they were a five-piece of Champion, Jennings, the Leimbach brothers and Tim Fitz on guitar and keyboards. During 2015 they released three more singles and in November their third EP Road to Paradise with six tracks appeared. Forté's Rex Miller observed, "bass is heavy and the melodies are strong and give choruses that are best sung at the top of your lungs."
In August 2017 Lime Cordiale released "Temper Temper", the lead single from their debut studio album Permanent Vacation, which followed in October. It was produced by Dave Hammer (Thundamentals, Nicole Millar, Washington) with the same five-piece line-up as on Road to Paradise. Nathan Marino of Music Insight rated it at 8.5 and praised their "danceable numbers" and "thought-provoking ballads".The Brag's Tanja Brinks Toubro gave it four-out-of-five stars and highlighted the "playfulness" and "quality of the individual songs".
Permanent Vacation peaked at No. 79 on the ARIA albums chart; while on related component album charts it reached No. 42 on Top 100 physical, No. 15 on Australian artists and No. 3 on hitseekers. To promote the album they undertook at 16-date national tour from October to December with an expanded band line-up. The album provided two more singles, "Risky Love" (September) and "Naturally" (December).
During 2018 the group started working on their second studio album, 14 Steps to a Better You, which eventually appeared in July 2020. In January 2019 its second single "Dirt Cheap" (November 2018) was placed 86th on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2018. They released its third single "Money" in February 2019. In May of that year its fourth single "Inappropriate Behaviour" premiered on Triple J. The album's fifth single "Robbery" (September), a song about "chasing after a girl who has stolen your heart", reached the ARIA singles chart top 100. They undertook a national tour in support of its release. In January 2020 they had four tracks in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2019, with "Robbery" highest placed at number 7.
After its release 14 Steps to a Better You peaked at number 1 on the ARIA albums chart and number 32 on Official New Zealand Music Chart. Ali Shutler of NME Australia compared it to their debut album, "it's more refined, more considered but still inspires excitement at every starry-eyed turn."
