Get an insider’s glimpse of The Lemon Twigs’ upcoming album and their musical journey, as they chat about roots, collaborations, and life as indie artists.

Catching Up With The Lemon Twigs: A Sibling Journey in Sound

If you’re a fan of lush, retro-infused rock with a modern twist, you probably already adore The Lemon Twigs — the sibling duo Brian and Michael D’Addario. Recently, they stopped by the latest episode of the Lipps Service podcast to chat with host Scott Lipps about their eagerly awaited album, Look For Your Mind!, set to drop on May 8 via Captured Tracks.

What I found fascinating about this episode was how the brothers peeled back the layers on their musical upbringing and creative process. Growing up immersed in the sounds of the Beatles and the Beach Boys clearly shaped their harmonic sensibilities. They revealed that singing harmonies with their parents was an integral part of their childhood soundtrack, which, honestly, makes their vocal interplay on stage all the more enchanting.

Their conversation also touched on the key collaborators who’ve helped mold their sound. Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, for instance, emerged as a close partner in their artistic ventures. The Lemon Twigs also shared how they received nods from legends like Elton John, and what it was like working alongside icons such as Thundercat and Todd Rundgren — talk about a dream team!

Analog Vs. Digital: The Battle of Sound Recording

For fans of vintage sounds and recording techniques, the episode was a goldmine. The brothers dove into a classic debate: analog versus digital recording. Their passion for analog’s warmth contrasts with today’s digital convenience, sparking a thoughtful discussion about how technology influences the emotional texture of music.

These insights reminded me of the purity in their music that feels like a warm vinyl crackle tucked inside every note. They also reflected on being born “in the wrong era,” a bittersweet realization when your sound is drenched in nostalgic influences yet you’re navigating the modern music industry.

Life on the Indie Road: Realities and Resilience

The Lemon Twigs didn’t shy away from the gritty realities of surviving as an indie band in today’s fast-changing music landscape. Their candid remarks about the hustle behind the scenes—touring, recording, and building a loyal fanbase—resonate with anyone who’s ever chased a creative dream.

It’s inspiring to hear artists so grounded despite their growing acclaim. They balance the romanticism of rock’s golden age with the practical demands of the current digital era, which is no small feat. Their story is a testament to how passion and perseverance intertwine.

Beatles Showdown and Other Musical Must-Loves

As the podcast wrapped up, the brothers indulged in the classic fan debate: John vs. Paul. It’s always fun to peek behind the curtain when musicians revisit such iconic influences with fresh eyes. Then, they spotlighted artists they believe deserve more recognition—reminding us how the music world is a vast ocean with countless hidden gems.

They also shared their top five songs they wish they had written. This list felt like a mixtape of inspiration and admiration, showcasing their deep respect for songcraft and storytelling.
