“I would definitely advise trying classical guitar – it’s really easy to translate classical chord shapes to pop music”: How NY duo The Lemon Twigs are leading the ’70s glam rock guitar revival

The Lemon Twigs' Brian D'Addario

They could be considered the vanguard of a ’70s glam rock revival, but everyone’s favourite New York brother-band The Lemon Twigs are exploring a more contemplative and stripped-back sound on their fourth full-length, Everything Harmony. Full of rich vocal harmonies and subtle fingerpicked guitar lines, the band’s bold change of pace has resulted in some of their finest work to date. 

“The sound came during the demoing process,” says Brian D’Addario, who shares vocal, guitar, bass, drum and production duties with his brother Michael. “The songs that stood out were the songs that were more vulnerable. That was a mood that we got into that continued until the whole album was written. We wrote a lot of frivolous pop at the time as well, which we love, but it just felt wrong to put them alongside the other songs.”
