Description
Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions, our weekly conversation podcast. This week on the show, we’re joined by Brian and Michael D’Addario, AKA, The Lemon Digs. Their latest slice of toothsome guitar pop is called A Dream Is All We Know. Writing about it in our mid-year favorite albums of 2024 (so far) list, we noted: “A dash of Badfinger, lots of Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren, and Sparks and you’re on the track. As always, The Lemon Twigs come arms full of records you can compare their work to, but what makes Brian and Michael D’Addario’s latest shine is its emotionality and hard-earned optimism, all of which lends resonance to the jangle and charm.” Rumbling out of Long Island, the Lemon Twigs were just as sharp, funny, and quick as I expected them to be. We got into all sorts of stuff, exploring their relationship with their mentor, Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, their collaborations and run-ins with the great Todd Rundgren and Sean Lennon, and unpack how their undeniable songs actually get written.  Aquarium Drunkard is supported by our subscribers.
