Today, NYC’s beloved sibling duo The Lemon Twigs announce their all new 2024 LP, A Dream Is All We Know, arriving May 3rd on Captured Tracks. Following 2023’s emotionally charged Everything Harmony — which The Guardian called “totally perfect,” Questlove praised for going “full Debarge”, and The Needle Drop’s Anthony Fantano revealed was the source of his #1 most played song of the year — A Dream Is All We Know finds brothers Michael and Brian D’addario (24 and 26 years old) exploring upbeat, shimmering arrangements that live in an imaginary space they call Mersey Beach: the sonic bridge between Liverpool and Laurel Canyon. 

Last week, The Lemon Twigs informally announced the record on Fallon with a high energy performance of the LP’s standalone single “My Golden Years”. Vibrating shimmering guitar and “serious Beach Boys vibes” (FLOOD), the power-pop anthem pays faithful homage while adding their signature Twig twist. Watch the full performance on Fallon here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XqW8XmYCto

Today’s single, “They Don’t Know How To Fall In Place”, is a whimsical nod to an unrealized romantic relationship. The video, directed by Amber Navarro (Molly Lewis, Weyes Blood, Diners), features tiny versions of The Lemon Twigs running amuck, the Borrowers style, atop chirpy organsong and kaleidoscopic harmonies. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JcnxfF6tss and read more at Paper Magazine: https://www.papermag.com/the-lemon-twigs-video

Leaving behind the nylon string-based arrangements of Everything Harmony, A Dream Is All We Know revisits the style the brothers first introduced on Do Hollywood — pairing the theatricality and glam rock of the Lennon-McCartney songbook with contemporary narratives, explosive electric guitar riffs, and the sunny harmonies and ingenious recording techniques of the Wilson family, A Dream Is All We Know shines light on the brothers acute attention to detail and multi-instrumentalist gifts. 

With almost a decade of songwriting under their belt, A Dream Is All We Know clearly demonstrates the D’Addario brother’s growth from doe-eyed teenagers eager to make music reminiscent of their heroes, to young men who have shared stages with Phoenix, Bleachers, Arctic Monkeys, and their musical hero Todd Rundgren, garnered praise from Elton John, The Zombies, Gerard Way, and Iggy Pop, and made a full transformation into visionary songwriters and arrangers whose oeuvre is itself a source of inspiration to other artists.

Recorded entirely on period-specific equipment and mixed and mastered by Brian and Michael themselves, A Dream Is All We Know showcases The Lemon Twigs playing with a newfound sense of intuition after years spent perfecting their craft. Pre-order here: https://lemontwigs.ffm.to/adreamisallweknow.opr
