Classicist brothers bring the sound of summer to a grey Brixton Thursday.
Touring their fifth album, New York duo The Lemon Twigs prove that summer can synaesthise into colours other than lime green. In a set overflowing with generosity, the D’Addario brothers painted the stage in honey.
The Lemon Twigs, Michael and Brian D’Addario, have had a turbulent career to date, garnering media attention early on and landing a deal with 4AD to record their debut in their teens, but an ambitious concept album followed that invited casual listeners down a rabbit hole they were unprepared to enter. The past two years have seen them in the ascendency once more, cementing a dedicated fanbase with the intricacy of their melodies and harmonies on 2023’s Everything Harmony and now 2024’s A Dream Is All We Know.
