Following last week’s announcement of The Lemon Twigs’ musical album Go To School (out August 24), the band releases new single ‘Small Victories’ today. This is the second song released from the 15-track opus that was written, recorded, produced and mixed by brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario at their home in Long Island.
Ruminating on this new song, the D’Addarios say, “When life’s obstacles start to wear you down, it’s the little things that keep you going. Bowling the perfect game, catching a glass before it falls to the ground, making the train in the nick of time. While there are no guarantees, we can always count on Small Victories.”

Go To School tells the coming-of-age story of Shane, a pure of heart chimpanzee raised as a human boy as he comes to terms with the obstacles of life. Todd Rundgren and the D’Addario’s mother Susan Hall play Shane’s parents. The album features contributions from Jody Stephens (Big Star) and their father Ronnie D’Addario. Recently released album closer ‘If You Give Enough’ reveals the moral of the fable: give a lot of love without expecting it in return and you won’t be corrupted by the hate around you.
The Lemon Twigs emerged in 2016 with their debut LP Do Hollywood, which was praised by Rolling Stone for “toting hooky songs that stand out for their intricate arrangements and delectable melodies” and the Guardian who declared it “a triumph of detailed richness and sumptuous melody, of anthemic chants and winsome ballads.” The band quickly earned fans in Elton John, Questlove, and Jack Antonoff among many others, the latter of whom said, “Prediction: The Lemon Twigs will usher in a new phase of rock.”
Later this year, The Lemon Twigs will join Arctic Monkeys on their UK and European tour as well as two nights at the Hollywood Bowl in LA. See below for a full list of tour dates including two headline shows at the Lexington, London, with more to be announced soon.
Fans can get exclusive pre-sale access to all to-be-announced tour dates later this year by pre-ordering the album from the band’s website: thelemontwigs.com
