The Lemon Twigs’ new single should come with a warning label. There’s so much power-pop gold packed into this 7″ that certain fans may experience temporary system overload. Case in point: I, a certified non-dancer, caught myself doing hip movements that should never see daylight. Please let the universe keep that footage buried. But absolutely everyone should hear the A-side.
And leave the cynicism at the door. This thing is impeccably produced, flawlessly sung, and simply a killer song. We should be grateful a band is out here writing some of the best power pop of our era. Also: is this the happiest-sounding track ever built around the line I’ve got a broken heart? I’m convinced.
The B-side? Another timeless gem, casually tossed off like it’s no big deal.
Available for pre-order on 7″ (will ship in January) via Captured Tracks.
