North London duo Fred bulk magazine b2b Deakin and Nick Franglen AKA Lemon Jelly go back with their original model of downbeat madness, melody and kooky humour.
They’ve come an extended means considering 2000’s debut album “KY”, a compilation of their first three restricted 10″ vinyl EP’s. A impulsively increasing fanbase and the discharge of 2002’s “Lost Horizon’s” had been without delay accompanied by way of a Brit and Mercury Music Prize nominations. All of this might have positively piled the stress on for his or her subsequent album liberate, ’sixty four-’ninety five, developed round a collection of samples spanning the ones very dates.
The boys look to have been up for the concern offering a totally usual Lemon Jelly album but not like one we’ve obvious until now. Whilst there's nevertheless the abundance of annoyingly catchy piano loops, samples and simplistic melodies that experience served them so good inside the prior, ’64-’ninety five right this moment appears to be like greater mature. Whilst now not as rapidly likeable as “Lost Horizon’s” this guarantees more sturdiness and is probably the whole more beneficial for it.
Long, gradual-construction tracks like “Only Time”, “Don’t Stop Now” and the aptly titled “The Slow Train” are interspersed with Lemon Jelly’s personal guitar anthems, “The Shouty Track” which samples Scottish punks The Scars and the Chemical Brother tribute song “Come Down On Me” which uses samples from the now defunct heavy-metallers Master of Reality. Additional contributions from Terri Walker and Star Trek’s very very own William Shatner determine that the boys carry the variety of eclectic album we’ve now come to are expecting and love.
This is the first album they’ve made with an accompanying DVD, lovingly created by way of Airside, the design brand consisting of 50% Deakin. All very incestuous yet it somewhat does paintings nicely. Now, moreover to the before unusual “Jelly” packaging & art work, we're given visuals to advance each observe. How exceptional of them!
