We’re less than three years removed from The Lemon Twigs’ last album, Songs for the General Public, but plenty has happened since August 2020. Pandemic and election politics aside, a certain bite-sized streaming platform’s quick (yet dubious) ascent and (inevitable) downfall fought for headlines throughout the the most aggressively weird year in recent memory before ultimately dissolving in December, leaving plenty of creative individuals and their ideas fit for the very specific medium with nowhere to turn to. One such victim of the Quibi disaster was the D’Addario brothers.
“We were hired to write material and act in an interactive TV show about an imaginary ’70s brother band,” they shared in a press statement today revealing the brothers’ plans for their fourth album titled Everything Harmony, as well as its single “Any Time of Day.” “We wrote a bunch of KISS type songs for the soundtrack plus this one. This one wasn’t quite right for the show, so we held it back. For a month in 2019, we filmed all 8 episodes. In the fallout of a high profile lawsuit taken by the company against Quibi, the show was shelved and remains on someone’s hard drive if not completely erased to save space.”
The track and its distinctly ’60s glossy music video are everything we’ve come to expect from the duo amped up to a new level of catchy, psych-pop hooks and soft-rock falsetto harmonies. “The song’s about the cyclical nature of life,” they add, contextualizing the Ambar Navarro–directed visual, which begins and ends with a headstone. “Everything goes on and on. Out with the old, in with the new!”
