Artistic expression does not make any difference about the medium: the lines get blurred and allow for a myriad of messages. Many artists do not make a distinction about when one ends and the other begins but, instead, are interested in what they can express in the essence of emotions conveyed to the audience. Cillian Murphy, who is an actor known for his accurate expressions, adheres to this spirit, reminding listeners also to “wrap themselves up in these sounds” that are The Lemon Twigs.
Cillian Murphy proved to be a key figure in cinema, especially with his work with Christopher Nolan. His acting is as close to clinical perfection as an actor can get so much precision displays his absolute dedication to the craft like some of the acting greats of yesteryear. “Oppenheimer,” the latest from Nolan, shows J. Robert Oppenheimer in Murphy to be both complex and masterly executed with subtle expressions.
For a performer who stints no energy in his acts, Murphy is of the opinion that a connection between artists and their audiences cuts transmedia. “Emotionality would be the thing that delivers with whatever art form one will be doing,” he says. And he indeed shares a similar feeling for The Lemon Twigs, a band that he thinks deserves attention.
The Lemon Twigs are two brothers, Brian and Michael D’Addario. They represent a creative exuberance that stands in opposition to the very controlled world of Murphy’s acting. The band’s sound is a direct nod to the golden era of power pop and rock ‘n’ roll but injects it with a modern sensibility. Their album, A Dream Is All We Know, is a vibrational tapestry of influence, drawing inspiration from iconic bands ranging from The Beatles to The Monkees, and even the Beach Boys. The skill to unravel sometimes irrationally infectious harmonies paired with catchiness in melodies set apart the D’Addario brothers from the rest in such an overcrowded sea of music.
While the music world is full of nostalgic acts, The Lemon Twigs is far from the case. Rather than recycling sounds old and stale, the act takes that influence and channels it into brand-new compositions that connect with modern ears. Whether it’s penning an abrupt pop single or giving a song room to breathe outside the confines of what mainstream radio typically allows, the act remains committed to innovation, reviving old musical tropes in new ways.
Perhaps the verdict will come from someone as flattered by the band’s sound as New York-based indie rock songwriter Doug Murphy. “There’s a great band called The Lemon Twigs that everybody needs to listen to,” he said. “I think they’re about to be huge.”. It’s glam-prog, naturally, with beautiful melodies and beautiful singing. Above all this, it once again underlines the artistic value Murphy has in the work of the band. This appreciation presents an appeal to enjoin music lovers to listen to their works.
Both Murphy and D’Addario have unflinching methods in their craft in their respective worlds. They are not such people to hold on to commercial viability for the sake of it at the cost of authenticity or viability in terms of emotions. Murphy is not doing period pieces because period pieces are trendy; he is currently stuck with the genre because he cannot commit to a betrayal of realism, especially if this manner is his mode of expression.
That The Lemon Twigs find the same complexity in their influences to create a signature or original musical identity means that the same fearlessness is known to them also, like Murphy, to experiment and to break every boundary.
They both possess an awareness of common sense following the muse. True artistic talent is not constrained by the expectations of the world. They know and keep on going; they feel to create, rather than to fulfill what the world would like them to do.
In a world where more often than not, the margins are overrun by commercial interest, here are two groups that ultimately remain as champions of authenticity and creativity: Cillian Murphy talking about The Lemon Twigs puts in perspective that, whatever the medium may be, the heart of art is connecting with an audience on an emotional level.
Reflective of this belief is the fact that as both the actor and the band continue down their respective paths, there is a reflection of that place in the understanding that artistry cannot be contained in one singular form but is rather a limitless adventure in expressing oneself. This confluence between film and music only serves to fuel creativity and ask audiences to explore and get involved with the variant expressions of human experience.
