  • About this album: On this one, the Twigs wear their influences on their proverbial sleeves more so than ever before – shamelessly channeling pretty much every band that ever came out of Laurel Canyon in the late 60s, and early to mid-70s baroque pop (think Harry Nilsson, Todd Rundgren, Wings, etc., etc.) and folk rock (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, anyone?). But it’s the influence of two singer-songwriters from Forest Hills in Queens, New York that’s arguably most evident (and if you don’t know who I’m talking about here, we can’t be friends). The brothers still manage to make the album distinctively their own, managing to create something that is both intimately familiar yet also fresh and innovative. A complex and extremely well-crafted album.

  • Metacritic Score: 87 (Universal Acclaim).

  • Grammy Nominations: None.

  • Song To Sample: When Winter Comes Around.

  Best New To Me Of 2023

  The Lemon Twigs album, Everything Harmony, was my album of the Summer. I know (because I've recommended this to a few people over the course of the year) that it is not for everyone. But I love it! Listen to Corner Of My Eye to get a sense for what they're doing. Also, New To Me is totally beautiful.
