1 00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,493 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,773 Speaker 1: from News Talks at B. 3 00:00:14,413 --> 00:00:37,813 Speaker 2: But does she the same more apprecia, She didn't. This 4 00:00:38,133 --> 00:00:42,053 Speaker 2: is Lime Cordial. That song is called Happiness Season. The 5 00:00:42,173 --> 00:00:44,893 Speaker 2: new album is Enough of the Sweet Talk, and our 6 00:00:44,973 --> 00:00:48,693 Speaker 2: music reviewers Dell Clifford has been listening Caldas Delgo. 7 00:00:48,573 --> 00:00:52,093 Speaker 3: Morning, Calda Morning. That's actually turned out to be I 8 00:00:52,093 --> 00:00:55,573 Speaker 3: sink my favorite track on the album, and I'm always yeah, 9 00:00:55,613 --> 00:00:58,693 Speaker 3: I'm always influenced by the artists themselves when they put 10 00:00:58,693 --> 00:01:00,413 Speaker 3: things up on social media and they're like, oh, this 11 00:01:00,493 --> 00:01:02,973 Speaker 3: is actually our favorite and you're like, oh is it 12 00:01:02,973 --> 00:01:05,293 Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh no, wait, stay with your own thoughts. 13 00:01:06,413 --> 00:01:09,493 Speaker 3: It's just this really infectious. I mean, a lot of 14 00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:11,693 Speaker 3: the album kind of has that real upbeat, infectious sort 15 00:01:11,733 --> 00:01:14,013 Speaker 3: of vibe about it. But Happiness Season there's just something 16 00:01:14,253 --> 00:01:17,213 Speaker 3: I don't know, I just think melodically and the style 17 00:01:17,253 --> 00:01:19,693 Speaker 3: of track is just a really good one. This is 18 00:01:19,733 --> 00:01:22,053 Speaker 3: a bit of a journey of a relationship. This album 19 00:01:22,293 --> 00:01:26,093 Speaker 3: so a concept album for these guys, which they said 20 00:01:26,293 --> 00:01:28,813 Speaker 3: kind of happened before, where sometimes the concept comes to 21 00:01:28,853 --> 00:01:31,653 Speaker 3: them after they've written a few songs, where this one 22 00:01:31,693 --> 00:01:34,893 Speaker 3: was like, actually, I think we're telling a journey somewhere 23 00:01:34,933 --> 00:01:36,853 Speaker 3: along the line. Perhaps it was going to be like 24 00:01:36,893 --> 00:01:40,093 Speaker 3: a French menu where you had all these little entrees 25 00:01:40,213 --> 00:01:42,613 Speaker 3: into the main and so there's kind of pepperings of 26 00:01:42,653 --> 00:01:45,493 Speaker 3: food throughout some of the songs. But it actually is 27 00:01:45,493 --> 00:01:48,613 Speaker 3: a relation relationship journey. So you start off with all 28 00:01:48,613 --> 00:01:51,693 Speaker 3: these quiet, bright sort of songs. It starts with Pedestal, 29 00:01:51,773 --> 00:01:54,133 Speaker 3: which you know, when you find someone you love, you 30 00:01:54,173 --> 00:01:57,573 Speaker 3: pop them up on that pedestal. But also if you 31 00:01:57,613 --> 00:01:59,693 Speaker 3: listen to the lyrics, it's still got that kind of 32 00:01:59,693 --> 00:02:01,933 Speaker 3: tongue in check thing that these guys are so good 33 00:02:01,933 --> 00:02:06,013 Speaker 3: at doing yeah, where you know, maybe yeah, maybe you're 34 00:02:06,013 --> 00:02:08,373 Speaker 3: not pray using their feet at the bottom of the pedestals. 35 00:02:08,373 --> 00:02:10,973 Speaker 3: It's very interesting listen once you delve into those lyrics, 36 00:02:11,013 --> 00:02:13,413 Speaker 3: which I think is great. Happiness Season, which is my favorite, 37 00:02:13,453 --> 00:02:16,573 Speaker 3: is a midpoint in the album where suddenly after that 38 00:02:16,773 --> 00:02:19,293 Speaker 3: you kind of come out of Happiness Season and then 39 00:02:19,333 --> 00:02:24,373 Speaker 3: what happens to a relationship from there. Not necessarily that 40 00:02:24,373 --> 00:02:27,053 Speaker 3: you're going down to some dark, gloomy places with the 41 00:02:27,093 --> 00:02:29,613 Speaker 3: song or anything, but I think they've sort of been 42 00:02:29,653 --> 00:02:32,293 Speaker 3: quite good at capturing some of those raw elements of 43 00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:36,933 Speaker 3: you know, they suddenly relationships are affected by other things 44 00:02:37,013 --> 00:02:42,093 Speaker 3: and society, Yeah, pressure and just stuff changes as you 45 00:02:42,253 --> 00:02:44,653 Speaker 3: are with someone for a long time, or friendships as well, 46 00:02:44,693 --> 00:02:48,653 Speaker 3: I suppose. Yeah, yeah, Imposter Syndrome is a is a 47 00:02:48,693 --> 00:02:52,653 Speaker 3: great song. I think probably the actually speaks more to 48 00:02:52,693 --> 00:02:55,493 Speaker 3: their own relationships to each other in the music industry 49 00:02:55,533 --> 00:02:55,893 Speaker 3: as well. 50 00:02:56,493 --> 00:02:59,213 Speaker 2: I thought, do you know, I had not appreciated they've 51 00:02:59,213 --> 00:03:00,813 Speaker 2: been around for like fifteen years now. 52 00:03:01,213 --> 00:03:07,053 Speaker 3: They had and which yeah, they played the Alien Circuit 53 00:03:07,053 --> 00:03:09,013 Speaker 3: for a long time and lots of those indie kind 54 00:03:09,013 --> 00:03:10,933 Speaker 3: of festivals. But I think, you know, this is only 55 00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:15,653 Speaker 3: their third album for I mean, given that they're brothers, 56 00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:20,173 Speaker 3: I guess they've been together forever. But honing that music stuff, Yeah, 57 00:03:20,213 --> 00:03:22,773 Speaker 3: it's surprising, isn't it. And I think what's happened now 58 00:03:22,853 --> 00:03:24,453 Speaker 3: is they've kind of found their groove and then what 59 00:03:24,493 --> 00:03:27,093 Speaker 3: they do, which is that indie pop. This has got 60 00:03:27,133 --> 00:03:30,373 Speaker 3: that low fi pop sort of resonance to it. Imposter 61 00:03:30,493 --> 00:03:33,733 Speaker 3: Syndrome talks about like how prevalent tol poppy syndrome is 62 00:03:33,773 --> 00:03:36,653 Speaker 3: in Australia, which I dare say can be the case 63 00:03:36,653 --> 00:03:39,093 Speaker 3: here in New Zealand. Yeah, you don't want to stand 64 00:03:39,133 --> 00:03:41,333 Speaker 3: out too much, but you also want to do something cool, 65 00:03:41,453 --> 00:03:43,653 Speaker 3: so you kind of hone your craft to make sure 66 00:03:43,693 --> 00:03:44,613 Speaker 3: it's not gonna. 67 00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:46,733 Speaker 2: It's a very difficult space to exist in, isn't it. 68 00:03:46,653 --> 00:03:48,493 Speaker 2: It's very I want to excel, but I don't want 69 00:03:48,493 --> 00:03:49,093 Speaker 2: to stand out. 70 00:03:49,293 --> 00:03:52,533 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah right, And in that somehow they've still managed 71 00:03:52,533 --> 00:03:54,853 Speaker 3: to excel, So I think that's due credit to what 72 00:03:54,893 --> 00:03:59,133 Speaker 3: they do. There's always some beautiful brass sections and some 73 00:03:59,173 --> 00:04:01,493 Speaker 3: real flourishes in some of the later songs on this 74 00:04:01,573 --> 00:04:04,573 Speaker 3: album with the trumpet and stuff they put in kind 75 00:04:04,573 --> 00:04:07,933 Speaker 3: of country influence. There's a few steal guitars and a 76 00:04:07,933 --> 00:04:10,533 Speaker 3: couple of the songs, and I think they're just good 77 00:04:10,573 --> 00:04:13,893 Speaker 3: at that production that keeps it quite interesting. And because 78 00:04:13,933 --> 00:04:17,133 Speaker 3: they play like every instrument known to man, so they 79 00:04:17,213 --> 00:04:18,933 Speaker 3: sort of pepping that in, but not in a way 80 00:04:18,973 --> 00:04:21,813 Speaker 3: that you go, oh, that was a bit, you know, 81 00:04:21,813 --> 00:04:24,573 Speaker 3: they sort of meant they blend it really well. And 82 00:04:24,613 --> 00:04:27,333 Speaker 3: again because their lyrics are really I think they do 83 00:04:27,453 --> 00:04:30,813 Speaker 3: really delve into their emotions really well. But also sometimes 84 00:04:30,853 --> 00:04:33,653 Speaker 3: it's just a bit of cheek to it, which I 85 00:04:33,653 --> 00:04:40,013 Speaker 3: guess maybe that's the Australian ye we're willing to take that. 86 00:04:40,573 --> 00:04:42,333 Speaker 3: These guys are going on tour, so they're going to 87 00:04:42,373 --> 00:04:45,253 Speaker 3: be in New Zealand and October. They've talked a lot 88 00:04:45,253 --> 00:04:47,693 Speaker 3: about being eco warriors, and they're like, but then how 89 00:04:47,693 --> 00:04:51,213 Speaker 3: do you tour the globe and jet planes when you 90 00:04:51,253 --> 00:04:54,373 Speaker 3: know that's what your ethos is. So they're working real 91 00:04:54,493 --> 00:04:57,333 Speaker 3: hard on their sustainability. So anyone buying tickets or going 92 00:04:57,373 --> 00:05:00,293 Speaker 3: onto any information about their shows, you'll see heaps of 93 00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:04,253 Speaker 3: stuff where they're tracking their emissions, talking about how they 94 00:05:04,293 --> 00:05:08,853 Speaker 3: can reduce their carbon footprints. They are using evs wherever 95 00:05:08,893 --> 00:05:12,413 Speaker 3: they can, reducing waste, and then every venue they're asking 96 00:05:12,493 --> 00:05:15,213 Speaker 3: to do something, it is really obvious that they're helping 97 00:05:15,373 --> 00:05:18,013 Speaker 3: the environment. So that's kind of cool. And also I 98 00:05:18,053 --> 00:05:20,053 Speaker 3: wonder if they'll have their beer they've made like a 99 00:05:20,093 --> 00:05:23,453 Speaker 3: carbon neutral bear. Oh so maybe they'll sell that at 100 00:05:23,453 --> 00:05:27,773 Speaker 3: their gigs your lago lago Okay, yeah, so everything that, 101 00:05:27,813 --> 00:05:30,413 Speaker 3: all the processes of making that beer. Yeah, we'll go 102 00:05:30,493 --> 00:05:31,693 Speaker 3: back into the environment. 103 00:05:31,733 --> 00:05:34,573 Speaker 2: Basically very good. Okay, So I want you give it. 104 00:05:34,813 --> 00:05:38,293 Speaker 3: Happy your word's not mine? 105 00:05:38,373 --> 00:05:40,773 Speaker 2: Stelle love it. 106 00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:41,693 Speaker 3: It's a nine out of ten. 107 00:05:42,333 --> 00:05:42,773 Speaker 1: Really great. 108 00:05:42,813 --> 00:05:44,853 Speaker 3: Listen, Yeah, it's really grown on me if you can 109 00:05:44,893 --> 00:05:46,733 Speaker 3: go from start to finish a couple of times and 110 00:05:46,773 --> 00:05:49,053 Speaker 3: then pick out your faves because you get to follow 111 00:05:49,133 --> 00:05:50,813 Speaker 3: that sort of glowing in demise. 112 00:05:51,013 --> 00:05:53,413 Speaker 2: Ah yeah, okay, cool, that makes sense. Hey, thank you. 113 00:05:53,533 --> 00:05:54,813 Speaker 2: We're going to have a bit more of a listen 114 00:05:55,013 --> 00:05:58,693 Speaker 2: to Enough of the Sweet Talk by Lime Cordy.
