Late Night Music Club: The Lemon Twigs, nullnullnullnullnull

Take two brothers, steep them in the great music of the Sixties, wind them up and watch them go. Brian D'Addario and Michael D'Addario have been making great records and touring since they were in their teens. (Now they're in their twenties.) Along the way, they've written some incredible songs.

But this latest album looks to be the one that might finally push them to the top. Called "A Dream Is All We Know," the collection of songs is pretty much perfect.

The Lemon Twigs are deep in one of the great songwriting grooves of the 21st century. Or is it the previous century? Their new album, A Dream is All We Know, is a fabulous pop confection that magically transports the listener to the idyll of Abbey Road studios in 1966, if the Beatles were actually two brothers in their mid-20s from Long Island, New York. However, Brian and Michael D’Addario are reluctant to write off their music as nostalgic escapism.

“Yes, we record on analogue tape, and we don’t think being on phones all day is a good way to live our lives,” sighs Michael at their Brooklyn studio. “But it’s not like we’re rejecting ‘contemporary life’. And I don’t know what we’re really excluding from our lives by not using social media or recording on Pro Tools, anyway. Who wants to stare at a computer when they’re doing something that’s supposed to be fun?”
