The two previous Captured Tracks albums A Dream Is All We Know (2024) and Everything Harmony (2023) certainly indicated something of a ground zero in The Lemon Twigs’ then five album career. “We started making records that we would listen to ourselves,” says Michael D’Addario, the younger Twig brother, now aged 26. “We were forced to slow down and reevaluate who we were in 2020. Around that time, we tried to assess what we could do better than other groups, part icularly in the studio. The live gigs had been getting crazier and crazier, and with no prospect of playing shows we thought it was the perfect time to make something a little more delicate, and to exploit particularly Brian's strengths. We decided to put all our efforts into making something powerful, and that’s how Everything Harmony came to be.” The album was a critic’s favourite.

By the time of A Dream Is All We Know, the future Michael classic ‘My Golden Years’, which opens the album and also received a single release and a superb video, The Lemon Twigs new era had truly begun.
