North London duo Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen AKA Lemon Jelly return with their targeted brand of downbeat madness, melody and eccentric humour.

They’ve come a protracted approach considering 2000’s debut album “KY”, a compilation in their first three limited 10″ vinyl EP’s. A swiftly expanding fanbase and the release of 2002’s “Lost Horizon’s” had been without delay observed by way of a Brit and Mercury Music Prize nominations. All of this may have obviously piled the stress on for his or her subsequent album release, ’64-’95, developed around a resolution of samples spanning those very dates.

The boys seem to had been up for the obstacle offering a totally normal Lemon Jelly album however unlike one we’ve seen until now. Whilst there is still the abundance of annoyingly catchy piano loops, samples and simplistic melodies which have served them so properly within the earlier, ’sixty four-’95 at this time appears more mature. Whilst no longer as promptly likeable as “Lost Horizon’s” this guarantees improved durability and is perhaps your entire greater for it.

Long, gradual-constructing tracks like “Only Time”, “Don’t Stop Now” and the aptly titled “The Slow Train” are interspersed with Lemon Jelly’s own guitar anthems, “The Shouty Track” which samples Scottish punks The Scars and the Chemical Brother tribute observe “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 possess William Shatner ascertain that the boys bring the roughly eclectic album we’ve now come to be expecting and love.

This is the 1st album they’ve made with an accompanying DVD, lovingly created by Airside, the layout business consisting of fifty% Deakin. All very incestuous yet it in actuality does paintings good. Now, additionally to the k-biz until now uncommon “Jelly” packaging & artwork, we are given visuals to escalate each one monitor. How exceptional of them!
