The Lemon Twigs are no strangers to wearing their influences on their sleeve, but their love for 70s rock, in particular, has always remained more of a homage than a remake. Their talent and creativity mean songs such as lead single '
The One' still feel fresh and original, while the idiosyncratic melodies of tracks such as 'No One Holds You (Closer Than The One You Haven't Met)' or the fairground attraction that is '
Only A Fool' are hard to imagine being sung by anyone else outside the band. It is rare also to see anyone close their album with a ballad about incestual love ('
Ashamed'), but The Lemon Twigs have never really been one for following lyrical conventions. Despite the suggestion of the album title, this record might not appeal to everyone, but will no doubt find and delight an audience as passionate and as colourful as its creators.
