Episode 101: Brian & Michael D'Addario – The Lemon Twigs

Trusty Chords

Show Notes

There's a very good chance that if you've found yourself listening to music in recent years and noticing there seems to be a stylistic shift to the straightforward pop and rock of the '60s, you've likely found yourself listening to The Lemon Twigs.

Hailing from Long Island in New York, The Lemon Twigs is the musical project of brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario, who, after starting in the world of acting, found themselves focusing on music, forming their nascent band while in high school.

From there, it's the standard story every group dreams of: demos attract interest, and before long, you're signed to a record label, making plenty of albums, appearing on TV, touring the world, and cultivating a strong fanbase.

Just one month ago, however, the familial duo returned with their sixth album, the stellar 'Look For Your Mind!'. Tapping into the psychedelic power pop sound, it's a brilliant piece of work that underlines just how strong they are as songwriters and performers.

Needless to say, when the opportunity came up, I knew I had to take the chance to have a chat to Brian and Michael to talk about their latest record.

Anyway, have a listen to The Lemon Twigs' 'Look For Your Mind!' album, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
