The Lemon Twigs - "Small Victories"

Last week, Long Island’s the Lemon Twigs announced their upcoming sophomore album Go To School, which doubles as a musical. It’s set to be a 15-track coming of age tale that follows a pure-of-heart chimpanzee named Shane who happened to be raised as...

Very up for this

Love how anyone from Big Star is involved in some way. First band I thought of as an influence when I heard Lemon Twigs debut

From last night’s 'Later… ’

Couldn’t really get along with Go To School, TBH. It’s such an odd mix of 70s homage at its best and Of Montreal at their worst (and by that I mean the stuff they released after hissing fauna…). I’ll be one moment and then full the next.

i don’t get it, they sound like the house band at a really shit pub

mouth_breather · 2018-10-13T13:32:08.946Z

This album has totally not hit the mark for me. First album is ridiculously great though

Icarus-Smicarus · 2018-10-13T13:54:48.178Z

Interesting, not heard them before Jools

mouth_breather · 2018-10-13T13:58:02.317Z

First album is gold. New one is hit and miss. 80% miss though

cliquester · 2018-10-13T15:03:21.915Z

Probably the peak moment so far

They keep switching line ups which is odd; neither the girl on bass (who is in this clip) nor their original drummer (who’s not) seem to be involved anymore.

Yeah this, love the first record, so much fun. New one ain’t doing a lot for me.
Always great live though

Haven’t heard the first one but this new one is pretty much the worst thing I’ve listened to all year. The only vaguely comparable thing I can think of is that Sack Trick album about penguins on the moon. Just awful.

Twitter, after the longer Jools show last night was 50/50 ‘worst thing ever’ to ‘OMG this is fantastic’. A good sign for the future, a lot of great bands divide people early on.

I have to say I dunno why they seem to wind certain folk up so much.

Still baffling why DIS don’t quite seem to warm to these guys.

Anyway…

gave the new album it’s first spin last night, enjoyed it on first listen, certainly stood out a lot more than the 2nd record.

mouth_breather · 2020-09-04T14:29:22.384Z

Enjoying this A LOT more than the second album. Not quite as inventive as the first but glad they’ve recaptured that joyful early 70s (Big Star, Stones, Neil Diamond) sound

Lo-Pan · 2020-09-04T14:30:53.011Z

agreed

So good. Love their sound. Proper good to have on and sing along to.
