As if Stephen Sanchez wasn’t retro enough for last week’s Album of the Week, this year we have another two effort – songs about heartbreak, devotion and the steady creep of the surveillance state. This is The Lemon Twigs sixth album and they have gradually built a significant following for their wonderful 1960’s-esque power pop. This one has lots of Byrds/Beatles vibes and just plain catchy songs that are pleasure to listen to. Classic Rock Magazine said:
If you’re partial to the glittering seam of music that runs from The Beatles through Badfinger, Alex Chilton, Todd Rindgren, Cheap Trick, Jellyfish and a thousand others, then you’re going to love this album.
Tick – that applies to us – enjoy. For a great review and discussion of the album and its efforts check out The Music Den on YouTube:
