North London duo Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen AKA Lemon Jelly return with their designated logo of downbeat madness, melody and eccentric humour.
They’ve come a protracted method in view that 2000’s debut album “KY”, a compilation in their first three constrained 10″ vinyl EP’s. A in a timely fashion increasing fanbase and the release of 2002’s “Lost Horizon’s” were briskly adopted via a Brit and Mercury Music Prize nominations. All of this can have for sure piled the stress on for their next album unlock, ’64-’ninety five, constructed round a determination of samples spanning those very dates.
The boys look to have been up for the situation handing over a wholly standard Lemon Jelly album but in contrast to one we’ve observed beforehand. Whilst there may be nonetheless the abundance of annoyingly catchy piano loops, samples and simplistic melodies that experience served them so properly in the earlier, ’64-’ninety five immediate seems to be greater mature. Whilst now not as right now likeable as “Lost Horizon’s” this guarantees superior toughness and is perhaps your complete higher for it.
Long, gradual-building 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 song kpop wholesale “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 make sure that that the men give the roughly eclectic album we’ve now come to be expecting and love.
