Today, crystalline crooners The Lemon Twigs returned with a new single called "Corner of My Eye," which serves as their first new release since 2020's Songs for the General Public. The track is a dreamy Beatles-esque ballad about falling into a new romance post-heartbreak. "But how much loneliness can a man take / Before he tries to take the reins," goes one standout lyric delivered in soaring falsetto.
"We recorded this track winter of 2021 in our old rehearsal studio in Midtown, NYC," the band—made up of brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario—said. "Apart from the vibraphone, the instrumental track was recorded live with Andres Valbuena on drums and Daryl Johns on upright bass. We laid down the vocals late that night once the traffic outside had died down. We’ve had the song for a while now, so we’re excited to share it with fans who may have heard it live over the years!"
The single also comes with video directed by Hilla Eden and the band's Brian D’Addario, which takes place in a cemetery. Spooky or romantic? They do say, "'til death do us part." Maybe it's a metaphor for a life-long bond; maybe it's something a bit more cryptic. Judge for yourself below.
