Lemon Jelly

Lemon Jelly is an electronic duo from Brighton, England, made up of Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen. They started putting out music in the late 1990s, with their self-titled debut album arriving in 1998. Their sound has always been hard to pin down, mixing bits of electronica, hip-hop, and jazz into something that feels both experimental and oddly accessible.

Their second album, 'Lost Horizons,' came out in 2000 and got them wider attention. That record included 'A Man Like Me,' which became one of their better-known tracks. They followed it with more albums that kept exploring different textures and moods, like the 2005 release 'Lemon Jelly.ky.'

For a while in the early 2000s, things got quiet after their label, XL Recordings, was bought by Beggars Banquet. They eventually came back with new material, but their output has been sporadic. Their music tends to be built around playful samples and melodic hooks, with songs like 'Come' and 'Don't Stop Now' showing their knack for turning odd sounds into something you can hum along to.
