While still firmly planting themselves in the realm of rock and roll nostalgia, The Lemon Twigs manage to innovate and craft sounds that spring new life into well established tropes.

Starting with softly picked acoustic guitar and echoing vocals, The Lemon Twigs' fourth album conjures images of 70s summer nostalgia. ‘Everything Harmony’ marks Brian and Michael D’Addario’s first collaboration with Brooklyn indie label Captured Tracks and their highly anticipated album plunges listeners into a world of sonorous harmonies. Throughout the glittering release, guitars multiply and form complex harmonies. A diverse range of vintage sounds occupy the complex sonic environment and drums wash over tracks or slip into the background, swallowed by theatrical instrumentation. With their acting days firmly behind them, the brother’s latest release deftly combines melodic sentiment with earnest lyricism

Combining elements of Zeppelin, The LAs, Teenage Fanclub and The Beatles to create tightly formed power pop, Lemon Twigs' harness unknown nostalgia in their new album. Melodies are floating and hauntingly familiar like lost pop songs from a forgotten era, I could've sworn I've heard these tracks before. Sultry summer vocals constantly wash over nostalgic instrumentation as immaculate production sharpen songs to a razors’ edge. Saccharine vocal harmonies punctuate the entirety of the album, merging with synth and guitar to evoke bygone reminiscence. 'Still It's Not Enough' features the duo’s most dynamic vocal performance as shimmering guitar arpeggios bounce across the track and mellotron samples explode with untold sentimental potential.

Lyrics deal with darker emotions compared to previous releases as the brothers use introspective songwriting to express themselves. 'Everyday is the Worst Day of my Life' is the stand out track, with earnest acoustic guitar and chiming melodies conjuring images of dappled sunlight. Its depressing and hopeless lyrics are contrasted with a bouncing picked guitar and gleeful strummed acoustic. Harmonies mount on top of the all-encompassing chord sequence, pushing the track towards its sharp demise. Mellifluous and warbling harmonies ring out beyond the limits of the three and a half minute song as The Lemon Twigs dive further into heartbreak on ‘What Happens to a Heart’.

‘Everything Harmony’ is a distillation of the group's previous creative output. It features all the hallmarks of their lyricism and saturated instruments but carefully refines them into something new in its 48 minute runtime. While still firmly planting themselves in the realm of rock and roll nostalgia, The Lemon Twigs manage to innovate and craft sounds that spring new life into well established tropes.
