The Lemon Twugs hail from Hicksville, Long Island.You couldn't make it up. Look For Your Mind their latest LP is their seventh in all. It sounds like several albums they have already put out. The twig it seems have no desire to become a branch. Meanwhile as the record spons it seems clear 1973 is reluctant to become '74.
But the 1973.The Lemon Twigs inhabit is stranger still. It harks back with endless yearning to the Golden Age of jingle jangle. 1965 to 1967 where The Beatles, the Rest of the British Invasion kicked in .The likes of The Left Banke. The Cryan' Shames
What The Lemon Twigs do on latest album Look For Your Mind , they do very very well. It's not a very different album from others they've put out, They're working on a seam. But it's also decidedly unadventurous .Firmula It never makes a break from the pack breaks out of the straightjacket of the records they clearly venerate and heads for true greatness. .
You never quite believe that the girl who's breaking their heart is actually flesh and blood or that she diesn't have a perfectly valid response to The Lemon Twigs entreaties. The 9 to 5 was ever an actually a 9 to 5. It's a conceit evidently. It's so jingle jangle tastic Still, The Lemon Twigs are heading back ti my home town and they're playing a bigger venue from last time. Why should they care about my reservations, Good for them.
