A Dream Is All We Know

Description

Since the release of their debut studio album Do Hollywood (4AD) in 2016, The Lemon Twigs – the New York rock band led by brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario – have carried the same revivalist torch as Alex Chilton and his Big Star crew, striving to prove that the music of the 60s and 70s can still be relevant in the digital world. After a tumultuous 2023, the D’Addarios continue to evolve their vision and voice, distilling a lesson in baroque and power pop in A Dream Is All We Know. A Dream Is All We Know is not the acoustic project that Everything Harmony was. Instead, it marks a return to the form that the Lemon Twigs first introduced on Do Hollywood – an enthusiastic assembly centered around electric guitars, capturing everything the band does well. A Dream Is All We Know is both grand and grounded, meticulous yet wild and radiant. It is a deeply dense and loaded album, filled with string arrangements and a sonic thesis that has traversed the phases of glam, conceptualism, baroque, and hard-hitting rock 'n' roll for over half a century. For fans of the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Weyes Blood, and Mac DeMarco.
