Lemon Jelly - Biography

07-07-2006 20:19 | 0 reaction(s) | add reply
Little did Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen - a.k.a Lemon Jelly - realise when they set about making music, that it would end up like this. It all started with three limited edition 10" EPs which were released on their own Impotent Fury label and swiftly became collectors items, not only for the unmistakably gorgeous Lemon Jelly sound but also for the impeccable packaging. These EPs were brought together for the 'Lemonjelly.ky' album, which spread the word of the Jelly further, but only upon the release of 'Lost Horizons' did this message reached an almighty high. Lemon Jelly went onto sell out a successful UK tour (including 3 dates at the London Forum), hosted a kids matinee which had parents and toddlers queuing round the block, were nominated for a Brit Award, and 'Lost Horizons' was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Awards in 2003.

Fast-forward to 2005 and a new album is here, '64-95', out January 31st. Based upon unlikely samples, it's very much a Lemon Jelly record but not as you know it. It is also their first album to come with an accompanying DVD that has been lovingly created by their design cohorts, Airside. The band will also be out on their biggest UK tour yet in February and March.
