All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors
Straight Blue Line (Gern Blandsten)
by Tim Den
This is a collection of the now-defunct group’s three 7″s, along with some previously unreleased bonus tracks. It’s a shame that I never heard them before they called it quits, cuz All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors weave some serious reverb magic into their guitars. Unlike traditional shoegazer bands that use walls of distortion to enunciate visceral dreaminess, this band’s bopping beats and quiet arpeggios evoke the same experience but draw it out with different tools.
