'Lost Horizons' has been hailed as Lemon
Jelly's masterpiece; The NME declared "Truly, horizons
don't get much broader, or more beautiful than this."
'Ducks' illustrates, however, that there is an eccentric alter-ego
to the luscious side of Lemon Jelly's music.
'Ducks' is one of Nick Franglen and Fred
Deakin's finest moments to date. Its charming folk guitar
and strings draw you into the sensory world of Lemon Jelly,
when everything wibbles and wobbles into an explosion of nursery-rhyme
madness and cartoon-style trumpet-lines, with an unashamedly
English edge. With the whole barmy experience being bound
together by funky beats and Fred's scratching skills, what
results is a show stopping, all guns blazing...and slightly
mental....example of Lemon Jelly's other face. A crowd favourite
at their recent successful London live dates, this is happy
music for happy people.
'Ducks' is already receiving lots of upfront
support from the likes of Chris Moyles, Jo Whiley, Mary-Anne
Hobbs and Steve Lamacq.
A nice treat comes in the shape of the B-side
'Soft'. Sampling 'If You Leave Me Now' by soft-rockers Chicago,
this was circulated as an anonymous, extremely limited-edition
(and much sought-after) 7" in 2001. It is so rare, many
refuse to believe it exists. Only now has it found its way
onto a commercial release, to be adored by fans who could
not get hold of this for love nor money.
This release is available as enhanced cd
(featuring the video for 'Space Walk'), DVD (featuring the
forthcoming video for 'Ducks') and 7" vinyl.
Once again an impeccable package of jelly
treats for all generations.
