The Lemon Twigs are back with their new album Look For Your Mind! and that beautiful sixties pop sound has never felt more refined. The Twigs have always captured the ambiance of their influences while ensuring their music doesn’t feel contrived or predictable and that’s ever present again on their latest album. Look For Your Mind! features tracks that I feel like I’ve known forever but they’re equally fresh and exciting. The D’Addario brothers writing is hitting new highs, with tracks like “2 or 3”, a tender, baroque pop ballad detailing the insecurities of finding a new flame and thinking they’re infinitely more interesting than you. The Rubber Souly title track sounds like a Lennon-McCartney dream that you can’t help but get lost in, with abstract concepts of finding inner meaning which crashes into a real cool echoey guitar solo. Track four, “Gather Round” is a real cute waltzy number which is reminiscent of the groups 2016 debut, *Do Hollywood*. As I’ve said already this album feels like a love letter to the music that the band love and showing this love to their own body of work feels special. Brian D’Addario, one half of the songwriters of the group, takes lead on “Joy”, a breathtaking number filled with brass sections and a wall of violins which gives the track a sort of Christmas feel. In 2025 Brian released his solo debut *Till the Morning*, which is well worth a listen, but I couldn’t help feeling that Joy was the culmination of his solo tracks. A personal highlight for me it’s so refined, there’s something particularly special about it. Of all the sixties and seventies influences present in the Twigs’ body of work, never has an album of theirs felt so much like a love letter to The Beach Boys. So much of Look For Your Mind! feels to me like a wink and a nudge to Brian Wilson, with stunning, complex harmonies and jangly guitar work the album has such a warm feeling to it. “Mean to Me” sounds like a relative of “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)”. Look For Your Mind! takes us on a nostalgic trip to fresh new places and with a discography as tight as they already have, the Lemon Twigs continue to prove just how refined their work in the studio continues to be. I’d urge anyone to listen to the Lemon Twigs if you haven’t already. They’re masters of crafting interesting and fun pop songs with that Beatle-esque flair while still having their own unique sound.
