The Lemon Twigs formed in Long Island, New York, in 2015. Based around the talents of brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario, the band made its debut with a cassette titled What We Know, which was limited to 100 copies and released in 2015. The D'Addario brothers' sound quickly drew comparisons to '60s Baroque pop artists like The Beatles, The Zombies and The Beach Boys. After What We Know's release, The Lemon Twigs signed to the English alternative music label 4AD, a record company that began life as an imprint of the famous Beggars Banquet label. The band's debut release for the label was the album Do Hollywood, a critically-acclaimed collection of ten songs released in 2016 and produced by Jonathan Rado from the indie band Foxygen. To promote the album, the group embarked upon a concert tour, appearing at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Outside Lands, and Montreux Jazz Festival. After tiding fans over with a 2017 EP of unreleased outtakes from the album sessions entitled Brothers of Destruction, The Lemon Twigs revealed their second album in 2018. Titled Go to School, it marked their debut on the UK Albums Chart (where it reached number 93) and was swiftly followed by a series of British tour dates alongside the Arctic Monkeys. The group’s third LP, Songs for the General Public, surfaced in August 2020, reaching number 61 on the Billboard Current Album Sales Chart. 2023's Everything Harmony marked their first Top 10 album in Scotland, where the album reached number 6, and 2024's A Dream Is All We Know fared similarly well, hitting number 9 in Scotland, number 82 on Billboard Japan, and number 7 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.
