"Formed in the mid-90s, All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors were deeply influenced by UK shoegaze and alternative rockmost notably My Bloody Valentinewhile pursuing a uniquely experimental sound within the US emo and indie scenes. Their innovative spirit reached full bloom on Turning Into Small, which remains their final album to date.One of the standout tracks is the nearly eight-minute-long 'Your Imagination,' a spacious sonic landscape that draws listeners into deep immersion. It has become a signature song for the band, heralding a new wave of shoegaze that emerged in the late '90s and beyond. Even more noteworthy, however, are tracks like 'Puzzled Into Pieces' and 'In Between And After,' which showcase the band's layered, synth-driven electronic textures, dynamic collage-like structures, and occasionally buoyant melodies. These elements come together to create a strange and otherworldly sense of weightlessnesssomething rarely found even within the shoegaze genre.While resonating with the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, and The Flaming Lips, the band's mutant-like blend of styles also draws parallels with acts like Swirlies, Serena-Maneesh, and contemporary shoegaze innovators such as They Are Gutting a Body of Water." - Gern Blandsten
