The Lemon Twigs - In My Head & Corner of My Eye (Live From Happy)

After dropping their killer full-length album earlier this year, The Lemon Twigs swung by Happy during their Aussie tour to lay down two tracks, “In My Head" and “Corner of My Eye.”
In an exclusive Live From Happy session, the prodigiously-talented duo shared a live take of some tunes from their fourth studio album, "Everything Harmony "at our very own Noise Machines studio.
The Lemon Twigs hit us with a double dose of goodness, playing “In My Head" and “Corner of My Eye” back to back, leaving us grinning from ear to ear.
Their fourth studio album, "Everything Harmony," featured catchy singles like 'Corner Of My Eye,' 'Any Time Of Day,' 'In My Head,' and 'Every Day Is The Worst Day Of My Life.'
The album, cooked up entirely by the talented D’Addario brothers in New York and San Francisco’s Hyde Street Studios, is a total mood, filled with perfect pop and sophisticated acoustic-folk.
Channeling the vibes of musical icons such as Simon & Garfunkel, Arthur Russell, and Moondog, The Lemon Twigs' latest album seamlessly glides between soul-searching introspection and unadulterated, feel-good euphoria. While these legendary influences cast their shadows, this gem stands as a testament to the duo's unique artistry-an entirely original work that might just be their magnum opus. Emerging as a standout in their discography, "Everything Harmony," gives a unique glimpse into The Lemon Twigs' creative genius. It's not just another piece; it's got that special something, showcasing the duo at the height of their artistic game.
Thanks to Tixel and MODE Seltzers for making this video happen!

I’m 65 and haven’t enjoyed what I classify as contemporary artists for quite some time. Then I discovered these guys. These guys are singer songwriters who are head and shoulders above the competition. Melody, harmony, production, all first rate. So when people bitch and moan that there is nothing of quality anymore, I point them right in the direction of the Lemon Twigs 👍

[@jprg1966]

It's incredible how many boxes they check -- multi-instrumental ability, vocals, songwriting, musical passion and knowledge, stage presence. It's the complete package.

[@mtp4430]

they aren't the next anybody. they are the original lemon twigs. taking classic styles and making them fresh all over again.

[@mrt3959]

My oh my just discovered these guys...I'm speechless! 67 years old and I feel 14 again listening to them. Melody harmony and they are individualistic using the hooks and sounds of the 60s and 70s! They use a 12 string....I haven't touched mine in about 20 years...these are REAL musician songwriters! Bravo guys!

[@luislopeztejeda5558]

They are amazing. Go see them live

[@butchspaintings2643]

That 60's sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@redadamearth]

More early-mid 70's, really, but yeah, of that era.

Never heard a more talented group of musicans the last 20 years; they blend Beach Boys, Big Star and Todd Rundgren into perfect blissful songs.

[@nudnick]

@@love-lp9pu I love each of their albums, because they're so distinctive. Kooky to Rock Musical to Radio Friendly Power Pop to A Benevolent Tidal Wave of Musical Beauty

[@Nerkin610]

And the next one is going to be even better, based on the mindblowing new tracks they’ve played live. “Peppermint Roses” is one of my favourite Twigs numbers already.

[@mattgeary9987]

Music with a real melody for a change

[@RAGNAR-3-3]

The album version of In My Head, the signer goes down more of a Paul Simon route in tone, but this take sounds more Beach Boys to me. I really like the diversity in his voice

[@The_Unholy_Roman_Empire]

the sound engineers cooked with that mixing

[@pauldediste9426]

They write such celestial melodies. Why aren't they famous worldwide yet?

[@redadamearth]

Because they're too good for their era. People's ears have been (un)trained over the last couple of decades to think that only songs with repetitive beats, the same four chords used over and over again and rote, banal lyrics are what "hits" are. If this was 1974, these guys would be the next Beatles and on top of the world. Honestly, it's probably a good thing, because they've carved out a space with just enough fans and success to be able to do exactly what they want to do. For those of us who recognize how incredible they are, that's a great thing.

[@Boogalyhu]

@@redadamearthThis guys are indeed incredible. I love the harmonies and their sense of melody. It’s all so amazingly well blended and tasteful. It’s not any better then the best of todays music however. One could argue their use of tone and rhythmic complexity is behind where modern rock/indie music is. Tone especially, that is what modern music is centered around. But like you said, their strengths are rarer these days.

[@nadyaedwards]

"You'll look a fool." I can't remember the last time a band just completely stole my musical heart. I wake up with their songs in my head. Everyone I know is sick of me gushing about them, and I somehow always seem to work them into most conversations with strangers. I was lucky enough to see them twice this year, having just discovered them. And yes, they are so humble & sweet for being musical titans. Next tour -- I'm totally out there! Their live shows kill!

Very likely a 330

You’re probably talking about the guitar that Michael is playing - a Rickenbacker 450 (early sixties I’d say) with what looks like a non original two tone pick guard. Danny is on bass - a Fender Precision. Cheers

Thank you so much@@jvintage82! And yeah, stupid mistake. Only became a fan a month ago and still getting a hold on the names of the band members. You're a sage.
