As a fanatic Beatles fan (and of lots of other 60s heroes) I dig Long Island‘s
brothers (Brian and Michael D’Addario) THE LEMON TWIGS‘s fab four and
beach boys retro bliss since they released their debut LP Do Hollywood back
in 2016.

Last year they scored big time with their 4th full length Everything Harmony
which resoantes like a lost McCartney album to my ears and almost exactly one
year later the bros have their 5th one out, named DREAM IS ALL WE KNOW.

The Telegraph (British newspaper): “A Dream Is All We Know is that rare thing: a perfectly crafted, concise collection of 12 songs that brim over with good-will and optimism. It’s their fifth album, and although their harking back to the glory days of the Fab Four (or Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, or the Beach Boys) may be inferred by some snooty critics as pastiche, their whimsical lyrics, off-kilter melodies and Chuck Berry-esque riffs are difficult to resist.”

TUTV: Once again New York-based brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario show their
aural love for that swinging 60s pop decade. Dreaming, mostly, about the Beach Boys
and The Beatles is all they know. Mellow melodies, zippy harmonies, titillating tunes is
what we get. No more, no less.

The Lemon Twigs are here first and foremost to entertain all retro-directed ears. At times the new songs sound like old ones from one of their 4 precedent albums. Don’t expect spectacular stuff here, it’s all about simple, feel good, greatly orchestrated pop-ular music to whistle/hum/sing along and that’s very fine by me. TUTV’s fav tracks: My Golden Years / Sweet Vibration / How Can I Love More / Peppermint Roses / Rock On (Over And Over).
