Look For Your Mind!

About

<b>On their sixth album, Brian and Michael D’Addario hit their stride with a collection of retro pop songs about heartbreak, devotion, and the steady creep of the surveillance state.</b> Brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario experienced their big break and their so-called fall-off before they reached their twenties. After signing to 4AD and recording their 2016 debut, <i>Do Hollywood</i>, while still in high school, the precocious pop nostalgists were billed as the next big thing; following it up with a musical about a chimpanzee raised as a boy (2018’s <i>Go to School</i>), they threw a monkey wrench in their rise. But since then, the New York duo has hit their stride with their painstakingly crafted, analog-recorded power pop that conjures up The Beatles, The Byrds, and The Beach Boys when they’re not collaborating with such luminaries as Weyes Blood, Thundercat, and Todd Rundgren. On their sixth album, <i>Look for Your Mind!</i>, the brothers channel the bright sounds and sweet harmonies of the ’60s and ’70s for a collection of retro pop songs on ever-relevant themes—heartbreak, devotion, the steady creep of the surveillance state into every facet of our lives. “They’re gonna take my job and give it to a metal machine,” they harmonize on <b>“Bring You Down,”</b> a surf-rock number about the drudgery of life under the boot of big tech. And on the lush, Lennon-esque title track, they caution listeners against losing oneself to the chaos of modernity. It’s the first Twigs album to invite their live band members into the studio fold, with Reza Matin on drums, Danny Ayala on bass, and additional contributions from Eva Chambers of Tchotchke.
