Brian D’Addario and his brother Michael came onto our radar back in 2016 as the duo the Lemon Twigs and their debut album Do Hollywood, a throwback splash of 60’s and 70’s rock and pop akin to the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
Now after five Lemon Twigs albums, Brian D’Addario has released his debut solo album Till the Morning, featuring his brother Michael as co-producer, harmonize, and lending co-lead vocals on a couple of tracks.
Till the Morning is an extension of the early prog rock, melodic folk, and such historically released by the Lemon Twigs, but on this album, Brian got to go even deeper into his influences by working with LA poet Stephen Kalinich, who co-wrote songs like “Little Bird” and “Be Still” for the Beach Boys 1968 album Friends.
The title track from Till the Morning is a fun, upbeat nostalgia trip about finding a tantric escape from the endless whirring of dread in your brain, rolling through classic tales and fables and wondering, “are we doomed to repeat? Have we already?” Right now, that doesn’t matter. Those intrusive thoughts can wait til the morning.
Till the Morning is out now on Headstack Records.
