Today, The Lemon Twigs - NYC’s sibling duo composed of Brian and Michael D’Addario - release the stunning “How Can I Love Her More?”, the thematic backbone of their forthcoming album, A Dream Is All We Know out May 3rd on Captured Tracks.
Wrestling with love and lost love, “How Can I Love Her More?” is a whirlwind of musical flights of fancy. Blaring horns and strings set the stage before the song settles into a rollicking shuffle, complete with two drum sets, an adventurous bass part, theremin, flutes and harpsichord — “How Can I Love Her More?” is The Lemon Twigs at their multi-instrumentalist best.
The brothers had the following to say about their new single:
"With “How Can I Love Her More?” we tried to bridge the gap between professional Brill Building writing and the more off-the-wall writing style of the post Sgt Pepper psychedelic scene. There are a lot of musical ideas but it’s still a catchy pop song. We’re very excited for people to hear it!"
“How Can I Love Her More?” features a video directed and edited by The Lemon Twigs, where the band take a trip through Central Park, museum row, and features moments of NYC mischief:

Recorded completely to tape and mixed and mastered by Brian and Michael themselves on of-the-era equipment, A Dream Is All We Know presents a tracklisting that is historically accurate, but altogether new. From the timeless tropes of the Lennon-McCartney songbook - including the most explicit example yet, with co-production on “In The Eyes Of The Girl” by Sean Ono Lennon - to the skyrocketing harmonies of the Wilson family and nods to The Move, Big Star, Tradewinds and more, A Dream Is All We Know revisits the 1968 sound the D’Addarios teased the potential of making almost a decade ago on Do Hollywood.
But with five albums, collaborations with everyone from Weyes Blood to Tim Heidecker, stages shared with Phoenix, Bleachers, Arctic Monkeys, and their musical hero Todd Rundgren, and praise from Elton John, The Zombies, Gerard Way, Iggy Pop, and many more under their belt, A Dream Is All We Know is a clear demonstration of the growth the brothers have undergone in their journey from doe-eyed teenagers eager to make music reminiscent of their heroes, into visionary songwriters and arrangers whose oeuvre is itself a source of inspiration to other artists.
Following 2023’s emotionally charged Everything Harmony - which The Guardian called “totally perfect,” Questlove praised for going “full DeBarge”, and The Needle Drop’s Anthony Fantano revealed was the source of his #1 most played song of the year - A Dream Is All We Know showcases the brothers playing with a newfound sense of intuition after years spent perfecting their craft.
