You have to check out the new The Lemon Twigs record Go to School.
It’s a new rock opera about a couple that adopts a chimp and sends him to elementary school and it’s helped me rediscover long-dormant pockets of pure joy deep inside myself.
It’s like if Brendon on Home Movies teamed up with Van Dyke Parks, Nilsson, and Todd Rundgren to make their own TOMMY after too much Schoolhouse Rock on a Fruity Pebbles bender. If that sounds good to you then get on this one post haste.
It’s so wide-eyed committed to its own dorky velocity that it lights me up with every listen and I have to have listened to it in full at least a dozen times since its release earlier in the week.

Do not sleep on at least checking it out.
