Song of the Week – 2 or 3, The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs – the brainchild of brothers Brian D’Addario and Michael D’Addario – released a new album, Look For Your Mind!, yesterday. The lead single is the irresistible “2 or 3.”

The song is steeped in the ’60s psych-influenced power pop that the Lemon Twigs trade in so well: ringing guitars, tight harmonies, a singable chorus, and even a key modulation for the final refrain.  What’s not to like?

Brian said the lyrics came to him in a dream.  “I had to interpret what ‘she’s lived 2 or 3 as many lives as me’ meant,” he explained.  “It made me think of a guy who wasn’t cultured or worldly enough for his girlfriend and had to pretend to be interested in fine art and history.”

After one final East Coast date in Washington tonight (May 9), the Lemon Twigs head west, including a June 17 stop at The Fillmore in San Francisco.

Enjoy… until next week.
