"Heroes of power pop" the Lemon Twigs transcend the "Sixties revivalist" label to deal Look For Your Mind! - and I've reviewed it for Tracking Angle

"Recently I’ve gotten to thinking we’re speeding towards consumption by nostalgia. (I know, I’m one to talk.) But is there such thing as being 'too referential' anymore, or can this be excused by a post-irony, post-sincerity culture where everything references something else?"

Long Island pop-rock outfit the Lemon Twigs have always referenced somebody or something else. Brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario have the matching, grown-out mop-top haircuts, and they've been totally embraced by the Sixties-loving set. Their sugary-sweet sound has earned them comparisons to Big Star, the Raspberries, Todd Rundgren, and of course the Beach Boys and the Beatles. Famous fans include the likes of Questlove, Thundercat, Micky Dolenz, and Elton John. They even got the stamp of approval from the late, great Brian Wilson. The Lemon Twigs have also earned the title “heroes of power pop.”
