The album consists of 10 tracks written and performed almost entirely by teenage brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario. The instrumentation ranges from traditional rock and roll standbys such as guitar and bass to more eclectic elements like brass, organ, cello and xylophone. Both Brian and Michael sing lead vocals and play lead guitar or drums on various Lemon Twigs songs—usually each on his own compositions—and they often switch back and forth between the drum stool and the spotlight during live performances.
