The criminally talented and hardworking brothers, Brian and Michael D’Addario, take us straight back to the heyday of late ’60s psych-pop and ’70s power pop on A Dream Is All We Know, their latest Lemon Twigs LP. The album lands squarely in the territory of the Kinks, Raspberries, Beach Boys, Byrds, and Big Star.
A Dream Is All We Know has been garnering rave reviews worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s a record of rare and special quality. I am going to keep it short by highlighting my favorite track on the record: My Golden Years — a song so fantastically constructed and impeccably executed, I can’t stop hitting the replay button. Every second of it is pure joy, and the song alone makes the LP worth every penny. It’s a shining example of how new gems can still be added to the power pop canon.
