The Lemon Twigs – Powerpop comes to Fuji Rock.
Back to Naeba Ski Resort and Fuji Rock 2026 for a set by The Lemon Twigs – recorded on July 26 (yes, three days ago).
With a new album out (Look For Your Mind) and a European tour getting started in September, Lemon Twigs have had an insanely busy year so far. On the road pretty much since January, they’ve been all over the U.S. – did a free concert in New York City as well as a slew of sold-out shows, you get the feeling word has gotten out about The Lemon Twigs and they are high on everyone’s “must see” lists.
Long Island brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario started the Lemon Twigs while they were still in their teens, each playing multiple instruments, counting guitar, keyboards, drums, horns, and strings among their proficiencies. The boys were raised in a musical home, sons of working musician parents. Along with an interest in theater, early musical influences like Harry Nilsson, The Zombies, The Left Banke and other ’60s and ’70s Baroque pop figures played heavily into the band’s sound at a formative time. In 2015, their earliest output arrived in the form of the cassette-only album What We Know. Significant buzz had formed around the group even then, and they signed to indie superpower , releasing their “These Words” b/w “As Long as We’re Together” single in 2016 and selling the 7″ mostly while on a tour supporting . Their debut album, Do Hollywood, arrived later in the year, produced by Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado.
The Lemon Twigs sixth studio album is the logical next step, but it’s also much more. With the skills they’ve acquired over the last two records, their many outside productions, and time on the road, they’ve imparted a vital but disciplined spirit. At the LP’s core, as always with the Twigs, is great songwriting.*
