Que els músics d'un mateix grup no se suportin, malauradament, és més habitual del que sembla. El que no és tan comú és que decideixin fer-ho palès a l'escenari, davant del seu públic. No, no és normal, però passa.

Fa un parell de mesos vam poder viure en directe l'efervescència retro dels Lemon Twigs i des de llavors no podem parar d'escoltar-los. Melodies de sucre, harmonies celestials i cançons que semblen sortides de principis dels setanta. Senzillament infal·libles.
