In his new track ‘Lemon + Lime’, Joe Mungovan once again delivers his trademark breezy Sunday morning vibes. The song was inspired by a girl he met one night after a show in Germany. Joe says “We had a magical time together and I tried to encapsulate the feeling of that night in the sonic elements of the song.”
Drawing inspiration from his coastal surroundings, ‘Lemon + Lime’ features Joe’s charming vocals, catchy guitar riffs and slicked back production. It was written in a home studio, near his hometown of Kiama on the South Coast of NSW. ‘Lemon + Lime’ follows on from his recently released single ‘You + Me’, which was produced by Tim Carr (Matt Corby, Urthboy).

‘Lemon + Lime’ is a track I’ve been working on for about 6 months. During the Covid lockdown I was living on a property in Kangaroo Valley. The space provided me with a lot of time to write music and look back on the memories made over the past years of touring and making music. The song came together a lot easier than most of my songs; it sort of just fell out. I got my mate Tim Carr down to my little studio set up I was using and we finished off the song together. The cicadas were so loud at that time of year that we had to build a soundproof booth out of blankets and cushions to record the vocals in.” Joe Mungovan
The song is complemented by a chilled ‘vintage’ style video directed by Madi Webb. It premiered on AU Review: “There might only be a couple of weeks of summer left, but Joe Mungovan is doing his best to extend it for us, with his summery-vibed track “Lemon + Lime”.
‘LEMON + LIME’ is out now.
