A musical conceived by brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario, The Lemon Twigs' ambitious 15-track opus Go To School was written, recorded, produced and mixed by the pair at their home in Long Island, NY. Their second album overall 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 the D'Addario's mother Susan Hall play Shane's parents. The album also features contributions from Jody Stephens (Big Star) and their father Ronnie D'Addario. 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 NPR Music who mused, "Like listening to music from a time that never was... a baroque rock romp." 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.", Runningtime: 00:00:00, Arranged By [Orchestrations], Conductor: Brian D'Addario, Art Direction: Evan Laffer, Drums: Jody Stephens, Engineer: Michael D'Addario, Engineer [Assistant], Music Consultant [Recording Consultant]: Ronnie D'Addario, Horns, Woodwind: Alex Slomka, Horns, Woodwind: Austin Alianiello, Horns, Woodwind: Brad Mulholland, Horns, Woodwind: Cameron Carrella, Horns, Woodwind: Greg DeAngelis, Horns, Woodwind: Josh Dickerson, Horns, Woodwind: Joshua Kinney, Horns, Woodwind: Katie Scheele, Horns, Woodwind: Rich Bomzer, Lead Vocals: Susan Hall (5), Lead Vocals: Todd Rundgren, Mastered By: Scott Hull (2), Photography By: Olivia Bee, Strings: Adam Adler, Strings: Alice Levine (3), Strings: Amy Noll, Strings: Benjamin Sher, Strings: Dan Lamas, Strings: Eric Allen (14), Strings: Rachel Krieger (2), Theremin: Dale Stuckenbruck, Vocals: Danny Ayala, Vocals: Natalie Mering, Vocals: Ronnie D'Addario, Vocals: Thomas Murphy, Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Double Bass, Drums, Cello, Piano, Organ, Banjo, Mandolin, Percussion: Brian D'Addario, Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Banjo, Chimes, Percussion: Michael D'Addario, Written-By, Producer, Mixed By: Brian D'Addario, Written-By, Producer, Mixed By: Michael D'Addario, Labelcode FOUR942.2 (4AD0094CD), Phonographic Copyright (p) 4AD Ltd., Copyright (c) 4AD Ltd., Recorded At Fortune Studios, Mastered At Masterdisk
"Go To School" est un album conceptuel du groupe The Lemon Twigs, disponible en format CD chez 4AD/Beggars Group/Indigo. Cet opus audacieux raconte l?histoire fantaisiste et touchante d?un chimpanzé élevé comme un garçon humain à travers une fusion de rock opéra et de pop baroque aux accents rétro assumés. Les frères Brian et Michael D?Addario composant le duo sont salués pour leur créativité théâtrale et leurs harmonies sophistiquées qui évoquent les grandes heures des années soixante-dix avec une touche moderne unique ; leur premier album "Do Hollywood" avait déjà conquis la critique par son originalité musicale remarquable. Le label 4AD/Beggars Group/Indigo s?est imposé dans l?industrie musicale grâce à son soutien constant envers des artistes novateurs ayant marqué la scène alternative mondiale.
