Edinburgh native Liimo have just released their new single ‘All I Do’ via B-Unique Records. They took a moment to talk to us about the track in more depth. 


Your new track ‘All I Do’ is out now, can you tell us what the track is about?
At it's core, ’All I Do’ is about being overcome with emotion and exploring that fine line between desire and obsession. That feeling of craving someone so much that it almost becomes painful.”

Where was the track recorded? Any behind the scenes stories from the recording process?
All our tracks are recorded & produced at our home studios. We're split between our three flats and pretty portable so you'll usually find us doing vocals at my (kieran) place, guitars at Jamos flat and the lions share of production at CJ's. You can spot some behind the scenes footage of  the process of 'All I Do' on our insta, CJ's place seems to catch the light just right in the evening which really helped digging into the night vibe of the song.

What message are you trying to put across in the song? 
We're not sure if it has a message so much as in intention. In a way, "All I Do", is the love letter you'll  never send because saying how you feel out loud sounds irrational, even delusional. That person you're yearning for is untouchable too, so we guess you can regard the song as a safe space to get caught up in your emotions and let it all out having kept everything in for so long'

The song explores the ideas of desire and obsession, so what do you desire, and what would you say you are obsessed about? 
Our name is probably a giveaway of our desires as Liimo is an abbreviation of 'little more'. The thread between our lyrics is one of aspiring for a touch more of everything; a little bit more time, a little bit more money, a little more indulgence, a little more love. Sometimes these things aren't the answer,  but we’d sure like to try it out ourselves. Our obsession is about getting our message across in songs that feels sincere to us and touches our fans. Our lyrics are about real life, being broke, love in a big city with the romanticism of warm nights far away; there's people out there who are gonna really feel that and we're passionate about reaching out.

Now the track is out there, what next? 
We're working towards an EP of new material right now which'll be out in the next few months, we love writing so there's a big pool of songs to pick from but we really obsess over the fine details. We want it to be just right for you guys. Along with that, we've got some special London shows coming up & we'll be hitting the road again so keep your eyes peeled. We had such a blast on tour in January so we'll be back bigger and better next time 100%. Thanks for having us.
