    Easily one of the best albums I've listened to this past year. To be appreciated by fans of Beach Boys, Beatles, Bowie and those in that lineage with just a little pinch of funk for good measure. These kids reproduce a sound we've now listened to for 50 years, but without making us feel they're "piggybacking" off their predecessors sound. Their clean grooves and song-smithing deserveEasily one of the best albums I've listened to this past year.

    Don't get me wrong, the D'addrio brothers have great talent, and can write some nice hooks. But until there's something more palpable than bygone era worship, they will just feel like another indie throwback group.

    This retro carnival is a trip, but it’s also a downright mess riddled with poor songwriting choices that are disguised as clever.

    With one foot in the present and one foot in the past, The Lemon Twigs have produced one of the most striking, individual, and colorful debuts of the year.
