Today, The Lemon Twigs — NYC’s sibling duo composed of Brian and Michael D’Addario — release “How Can I Love Her More?”, the thematic backbone of their forthcoming album, A Dream Is All We Know (out May 3 on Captured Tracks).

Wrestling with love and lost love, “How Can I Love Her More?” is a whirlwind of musical flights of fancy. Blaring horns and strings set the stage before the song settles into a rollicking shuffle, complete with two drum sets, an adventurous bass part, theremin, flutes and harpsichord — “How Can I Love Her More?” is The Lemon Twigs at their multi-instrumentalist best. 

Watch and listen to “How Can I Love Her More?”, directed and edited by The Lemon Twigs, the video is a cheeky trip through Central Park, museum row, and moments of NYC mischief, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbppp0j7f5w

Says Michael D’Addario on the track: “With “How Can I Love Her More?” we tried to bridge the gap between professional Brill Building writing and the more off the wall writing style of the post Sgt Pepper psychedelic scene. There are a lot of musical ideas but it’s still a catchy pop song. We had a lot of fun with the recording of this one, overdubbing two drum sets, some theremin, and strings and horns (all played by Brian).”

Recorded completely to tape and mixed and mastered by Brian and Michael themselves on of-the-era equipment, A Dream Is All We Know presents a tracklist that is historically accurate, but altogether new. From the timeless tropes of the  Lennon-McCartney songbook — including the most explicit example yet, with co-production on “In The Eyes Of The Girl” by Sean Ono Lennon — to the skyrocketing harmonies of the Wilson family and nods to The Move, Big Star, Tradewinds and more, A Dream Is All We Know revisits the 1968 sound the D’Addarios teased the potential of making almost a decade ago on Do Hollywood. 

Most recently, The Lemon Twigs have been praised by Questlove for going “full Debarge” on their 2023 LP Everything Harmony, described as “remarkably inventive… harmonically unlike anything that’s come before them” by Michael McDonald on Rick Beato’s show, and performed “My Golden Years” and “How Can I Love Her More?” on WNYC All Of It, who praised the tracks for their “masterful pastiche”.

““My Golden Years” is a genuinely good song, with passionate vocals that lean more custom than copycat.” —Nylon
