About the Album
The MonaLisa Twins’ much anticipated follow-up original record to their debut album “When We’re Together”. 5 years have passed since the release of original material while the Twins played countless shows all over Europe, moved their residence to England, and learned some important life lessons. In other words … they lived life.
In comparison to their first album, which was still written in their teens, ORANGE gives a more mature, sometimes satirical, yet overall still light-hearted approach to topics we all deal with. Love, community, doubt, the past and future and the generally unsettling direction society seems to be taking.
While staying true to their passion for melodic, quirky songwriting, plenty of harmonies, a very “60s” sound and twangy guitar licks, this album branches out into new territories and incorporates very psychedelic but also earthy, bluesy, sometimes even jazzy tones. Built upon everything you loved about their debut album, you can expect to hear a more experimental and very tongue-in-cheek side of the MonaLisa Twins.

As someone whose favorite musical decade is the 60’s, I find Mona’s and Lisa’s vocals and music to be just my cup of tea! The twins are absolutely groovy!

Multitalented ML Twins

These girls not only have musical ability but they have artistic quality that reminds me so much of the “fun” of the 60’s and 70’s style music. Their Beatles covers are phenomenal and refreshing, not simple note for note rehashed mimics. It’s “girls” singing a guy band’s songs. Their music videos are clever, catchy and creative. I love the “Hey, Waiter” package (music & video) featuring John Sebastian. Now THAT’S a huge endorsement right there! “Still a Friend of Mine” is captivating. So polished and classy. You go, girls. I’m a fan!!

Totally Impressed
Gord (verified owner) –
I have listened to this cd a few times after I purchased it, just the other day. I am totally impressed. Such great powerful voices, Easily the best female band I have ever heard, and quite likely the most talented musicians as well. This is Austria’s greatest export!!!

Great music
David (verified owner) –
I really enjoyed the whole album, as others have said well played and sung with very good production. The Beatle references stand out and I like the way you have emulated them in that you borrow from them just as they borrowed from the music of their parents and their youth. I also very much enjoy the covers you do whch demonstrate the love and respect you have for that music. I hope my small contributions help and hope to see you live one day down in south eastern France or near the Italian border

I really like this album . One thing I appreciate about your music is that it is clearly influenced by and is a celebration of the past but it also sounds fresh, modern and original. I think thats particularly true about this album. Also, as in the rest of your work your vocals here are gorgeous and your music sounds so professional and slick yet unpretentious and fun. You are such suburb musicians and your love of creating and performing music really shines through on this album.
Normally I don’t like over produced albums.I like music that is sparse, where talent like yours is better revealed. But as a musician if you want to grow you have to experiment. You have to try new things. Or as another great artist put it “ He not busy being born is busy dying” The opening track of the album sets the mood and flavour of the album wonderfully; a through back to the concept albums of the 60s.
Great irony and fun in “ No More Worries Company” You don’t hear “ Don’t think for yourself” very often.
Wonderful homage to the 60’s in “ Once Upon A Time”. Great harmonica.
“ Close To You” – Great vocals, nice guitar. Bittersweet nostalgia. “ Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my” indeed.
“Its All Right” – again great vocals and harmonizing. I like the way you play off each other in this song.
“ Waiting For the Waiter” – my favourite. Sultry, seductive vocals. Sung like you really mean it. Again great harmonica.
“In It For Love” – Catchy tune. Again very nice vocals, guitar and lyrics. Old time song but timeless.
“Count On Me” – Great lyrics. Sung and preformed beautifully.
“‘Sweet Lorraine” – Again, Catchy tune; well sung with sensitivity. Sounds like old fashioned tune but timeless at the same time. Nice contrast to the last song. Love does not work out well for everyone.
“Thats Life” – Another standout song. Fun and infectious. Full of love & romance but at the same time “you better not bet that it’s always coming up roses”
“Club 27” Nice contrast from the rest of the songs. Great guitar. Rockier, more edge. Celebratory ode to Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison & others but recognizing the price they paid
“Still A Friend Of Mine”
Gorgeous song. beautiful vocals full of emotion. great lyrics from a confident songwriter . I wonder who are you talking about? Another fellow artist? Some one who tried to show us the truth who didn’t care about being a star but had some problems?
I wondered why you chose to call your album “Orange” so I looked up what the colour meant.
Orange is associated with joy, creativity, freedom, fascination, happiness, fun etc.. Its stimulating and vibrant.
Now I understand why you chose to call it that.
