All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors
Gern Blandsten Records
Some overzealous critics might describe All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors as a cross between My Bloody Valentine and Stereolab. Sure, there are some similarities, but those who delve deeper will find more complex pleasures. Vertigo-inducing swirls of guitars and keys, beautiful indie pop sensibilities, choral vocal polyphonies and krautrock electronic experimentation create the mood. The overall effect is of shimmering beauty that subtly changes just like sunlit reflections with ethereal dreaminess. All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors makes a point of questioning the way things are conventionally done in music. With a sound that is equal parts head music, indie, space rock, and new wave, ANL&LF is different yet pleasantly familiar.
The band released their self-titled debut in 1996 to much critical acclaim and media attention. Gern Blandsten Records stepped in and issued the band's 1998 follow-up, Turning Into Small. 2000 yielded a third ANL&LF full-length, Straight Blue Line, as well as a souped-up re-release of their debut with four additional unreleased tracks.
