The Lemon Twigs are always full of surprises and gave us two - an album announcement and a new single. The new album Look For Your Mind! is due out May 8th, and the lead single "I Just Can't Can't Get Over Losing You," out now via Captured Tracks.
Underneath is poppy exterior, Look For Your Mind! contains an undercurrent of paranoia and suspicion. "I do think that now is a time of insanity.", admits Brian after pausing for thought.
New to this album is the inclusion of the live members Reza Matin (drums) and Danny Ayala (bass), as well as Eva Chambers of Tchotchke. With the D'Addario brothers, Brian and Michael, previously have handled everything in the studio themselves, this shows a newfound sense of freedom.
"You really have to hold onto your own mind if you don't wanna lose it." - Brian D'Addario
The ringing guitars of The Lemon Twigs' newest single "I Just Can't Get Over Losing You" may create a familiar pleasant mood, but when the bridge comes in at an unexpected time, the chorus is cut in half, and Brian and Eva's harmonies build to its euphoric climax, the conventions for a pop song such as this are broken.
The manner in which The Lemon Twigs surprise is a constant and testament to their vision and abilities. "Every time we try to write something that's completely straightforward, we can't help adding an element which comes out of left field. We always want to write a song we've never heard before," chuckles Brian.
The Lemon Twigs' two previous Captured Tracks albums, A Dream Is All We Know (2024) and Everything Harmony (2023), certainly indicated something of a ground zero in their then five album career. "It was the beginning of making records that we would listen to ourselves.", Michael D'Addario explains. By the time of A Dream Is All We Know and the future Michael classic "My Golden Years," The Lemon Twigs' new era had truly begun.
