Praise for 2023’s “Everything Harmony”:
“Is the D’Addario’s supply of melodies, textures and chords of unrivalled loveliness unexhaustible?” – The Sunday Times
“Rarely has stark despair sounded so lovely.” – The Guardian *****
“The songwriting is so ridiculously strong that were these songs released in the early 70s, the Lemon Twigs would still be on the cover of Mojo and Uncut at least once a year.” – The Guardian – Best Albums Of 2023
“Previously, comparisons to Simon and Garfunkel felt superficial; on this evidence, The Lemon Twigs are truly operating on that level.” – DIY 9/10
“We’ve rarely seen the D’Addario brothers being so openly romantic and vulnerable and, honestly, it could prove rather contagious… incredibly easy to love.” – Shindig! *****
“A work of stunning sophistication.” – Uncut 9/10
“The D’Addario brothers have always worn their inspirations proudly on their vintage-inspired sleeves. Now, they’re making a sound of their own.” – NME ****
“A darker chapter in the Twigs’ story, but their songwriting has become more nuanced.” – Mojo ****
“The Lemon Twigs are the kind of band that make you glad to be alive.” – Shindig! – Best Albums Of 2023 – No.1
“The Lemon Twigs’ journey to the soft centre of classic pop proves a teary delight.” – The Times ****
Album Of The Week – Far Out
“Everything Harmony is inspiring, a statement to the musical mastery at work behind the scenes of The Lemon Twigs HQ and a very welcome breath of fresh air.” – Dork ****
“It’s a subtle, but emphatically creative return. The high, keening vocal is draped in feeling, while the under-stated songwriting urges towards the sublime.” – CLASH
Today, The Lemon Twigs – New York’s sibling duo beloved for their sophisticated pop, which aims to pick up where The Beach Boys left off — release “My Golden Years” on Captured Tracks, their first new release since their acclaimed 2023 LP, Everything Harmony.
Named among Paste, The Guardian, Mojo, Far Out and Shindig!’s best albums of 2023 – and with “Any Time Of Day” as Anthony Fantano/The Needle Drop’s #1 most played song of the year – Everything Harmony was celebrated by Pitchfork, CREEM, SPIN, Stereogum, GQ and more, with Paste defining the brothers as “one of the hottest rock bands in America right now.”
New single “My Golden Years” holds close the smooth harmonies of The Beach Boys, the energy and bombast of Raspberries, and shimmering 12 string textures of The Byrds – as the brothers describe it, “My Golden Years” is a power-pop anthem about “making every minute count and living up to your potential.” They continue, joking that, “in that sense I think that people like Mark Ruffalo or people who hike might like the song. Or it could be good while you’re working out.”
The video for “My Golden Years” is just as vibrant: between sun-drenched shots filmed across LA, the band traverses through moments of mischief and open fields.
Says director Ambar Navarro: “The “My Golden Years” video is about looking back at the good old days, and the highs and lows of trying to make it as a band. We wanted to incorporate situations like being broke and getting kicked out while being playful and humorous about it. When you’re trying to make it as an artist there’s this vulnerability of putting yourself out to constant rejection that can be tough, but the band finds their full peace and freedom in performing in an open field.”
Stay tuned for much more in store for The Lemon Twigs this 2024.
