As the Lemon Twigs, sons of power pop songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ronnie D'Addario, Brian and Michael D'Addariochannel the'7Os singer/songwriter energyof their father's era and adda healthylove of musical theater and an over-the-top performance.The brothers began writing songs at young ages and delivered their2016 debut album, Do Hollywood, on 4AD at the tail-end of theirteenageyears.Success came quickly, with critical acclaim and a stringofTV appearances as well as extensive touring.They evolved from theconceptual eccentricityoftheir 2018 sophomore album, Go to School.to a more varied but no less bombastic set of songs on their 2020album Songs for the General Public, to the emotionallynakedsentiments of their more subtle but still wildly eclectic albums like2023's Everything Harmony and the following year's A Dream ls All WeKnow.
Long lsland brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario started the LemonTwigs while they were still in their teens, each playing multipleinstruments, counting guitar, keyboards, drums, horns, and stringsamong their proficiencies.The boys were raised in a musical homesons of working musician parents.Along with an interest in theater,early musical influences like Harry Nilsson, Todd Rundgren, Wings, theZombies, and other '60s and '70s Baroque pop figures played heavilyinto the band's sound at a formative time. In 2015, their earliest outputarrived in the form of the cassette-only album What We Know.Significant buzz had formed around the group even then, and theysigned toindie superpower 4AD, releasing their "These Words" b/w"As Long as We're Together" single in 2016 and selling the 7" mostlywhile on a tour supporting Carseat Headrest.Their debut album, DoHollywood, arrived later in the year, produced by Foxygen's JonathanRado.
The Lemon Twigs embarked on a tour in support of the album with alive version ofthe band that included Danny Ayala on keyboards andMegan Zeankowski on bass.Theyreturned in September 2017 withBrothers of Destruction, ahome-recorded EP written largelyduringthe sessions for Do Hollywood featuring a handful of live staples fromtheir touring set.

In addition to their long-running love of glam and theatricalpower pop, the band looked to the influence of both mainstream andoutsider folk artists for their new set of songs, evoking Simon &Garfunkel on some tracks and Moondog on others.EverythingHarmony was released in May of 2023 and was the band's first albumwith newlabel CapturedTracks.Almost exactly a year later, their nextalbum A Dream ls All We Know was released. lt was recordedimmediately after the completion of Everything Harmony during aperiod ofintense productivity and featured more string arrangementsthan other Twigs' albums.
