SE 5, EP 13: The Lemon Twigs - A Dream is All We Know
On this week's episode, we discuss an album that came out in 2024, the fifth album by the Lemon Twigs, A Dream is All We Know.
Consisting of multi-instrumentalist brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario, the music of the Lemon Twigs often feels like it’s been plucked straight from the 1960s or 1970s. Echos of the Beatles, the Kinks and the Beach Boys are obvious, in fact they brothers call the sound of this LP "Mersey Beach." However, the Brothers D'Addario make it all sound fresh and relevant.
Coming just a year off of their critically heralded LP Harmony Everything, the wonderfully constructed songs on A Dream Is All We Know feels like as the culmination of everything the Lemon Twigs recorded before it. A shimmering pop gem full of multi-layered ear worms, quirky song structures, and beautifully lush harmonies. There is a breadth and depth here not found on many modern rock albums that rewards the listener with each repeated listen.
