Nov 15, 2018 By Christopher Roberts The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs (aka brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario) released their sophomore album, a concept musical entitled Go to School, back in August via 4AD. Now they have shared a video for “Never In My Arms, Always In My Heart.” Winston H. Case and the band’s Michael D’Addario directed the video, which is rather sad as it features a couple that have a miscarriage. Meanwhile Michael channels his inner Mick Jagger. The video was mainly filmed in a bar in Hicksville, in the band’s native Long Island. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Michael had this to say about the video in a press release: “Brian and I played in a whole lot of Long Island bars growing up, and man, we met a lot of people like this. Sometimes the Long Island mothers would gossip and you’d hear a sad story like this one, and somebody would end up with a tattoo that said ‘Never In My Arms, Always In My Heart.’ A weekend in Hicksville.”

Previously The Lemon Twigs shared Go to School‘s the string- and piano-backed closing track, “If You Give Enough” (which was one of our Songs of the Week), as well as “Small Victories” (which was an honorable mention on our Songs of the Week list) and “The Fire.”

The Lemon Twigs recorded the album in their Long Island house. It features Jody Stephens (Big Star) and their father Ronnie D’Addario. A previous press release said Go to School “tells the heartbreaking 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 their real life mother Susan Hall play Shane’s parents.”

The band had this to say about the album in the previous press release: “Something now, then, big, small, bleak, and hopeful. All in under an hour.”

The Lemon Twigs released their debut album, Do Hollywood, in 2016 on 4AD.

Last year The Lemon Twigs followed up Do Hollywood with the Brothers of Destruction EP and back in March they shared two new songs, “Foolin’ Around” and “Tailor Made,” neither of which is featured on the album.
