THE LEMON TWIGS

Do Hollywood (2016)

On this, their debut album proper, the teenage duo purveyed a brash, adventurous, complex, postmodern style of music informed by classic rock and pop songcraft. In press shots Michael D’Adarrio sported a glammed-up Macca mullet, and his brother Brian’s middle name is Paul – he’s named after Messrs Wilson and McCartney. Do Hollywood shows that all this really is in their sonic DNA, and US journalist Bill Kopp was spot-on when he wrote in New City Music that the opening track I Wanna Prove To You “could easily be mistaken for an outtake” from Ram.
