THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: Today, The Lemon Twigs announced the release of their fourth studio album Everything Harmony, out May 5. Everything Harmony is a tour de force that arrives as a full realisation of the brother duo of Brian and Michael D’Addario’s distinct blend of sunny pop vocals with sophisticated acoustic-folk melodies and rich textures, inspired by the likes of Simon & Garfunkel, Arthur Russell and Moondog.
The album swings between moments of depression and isolation to episodes of dizzying euphoria. It was written, recorded, produced and engineered entirely by The Lemon Twigs across Manhattan, Brooklyn and San Francisco’s Hyde Street Studios.
The announcement is accompanied by the affectionate new single Any Time Of Day, which follows the recent Corner Of My Eye. According to director Ambar Navarro, the video for Any Time Of Day was “heavily inspired by ’60s television live performances and focusing on the minimal set pieces, referencing The Carpenters, Tom Petty and especially The Monkees’ TV show and the absurdist/surreal comedy of that era.”
Of the track, The Lemon Twigs say, “We were hired to write material and act in an interactive TV show about an imaginary ’70s brother band. We wrote a bunch of KISS-type songs for the soundtrack plus this one. This one wasn’t quite right for the show, so we held it back. For a month in 2019, we filmed all eight episodes. In the fallout of a high-profile lawsuit taken by the company against Quibi, the show was shelved and remains on someone’s hard drive, if not completely erased to save space. The song’s about the cyclical nature of life. Everything goes on and on. Out with the old, in with the new!”
In the support of the new album, The Lemon Twigs will play a series of shows across the UK and EU starting in Amsterdam on May 20th.
