DIGGIN’ IN THE CRATES: LEMON JELLY- LOST HORIZONS
posted by Jonathan in Diggin' In The Crates, Experimental
Lemon Jelly‘s Lost Horizons is a fantastic example of an album that is both chill and whimsical. The British electro duo consisting of Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen crafted it back in 2002. They’re no longer around as Lemon Jelly and have each pursued solo careers, but their unique spirit remains along with their few releases. Lost Horizons is focused – clearly determined to reach an ultimate goal from the moment you push play. The end is nothing you could have expected, but rather the duo plays with their listeners. They dare you to suppress an increasingly inevitable smile with laid-back beats that are colored by goofiness and uncompromising and quirky instrumentation. What’s even better is the album’s ability to compel you to never turn it off. From the incredible blissful nature of “Space Walk”, to the pensive nature of “Ramblin’ Man”, to the hilarity of “Nice Weather for Ducks”, Lost Horizons is sure to be a new favorite.

I remember “Space Walk” being used in a car commercial a few years ago and as much as the Nissan minivan or whatever auto the advertisement was selling probably sucked it was actually a great use of the track. Also “Nice Weather for Ducks” is a damn classic, a friend of mine told me she had a playlist devoted to sitting around watching ducks at the park and I was stunned when she said that this wasn’t on it (the situation was then remedied).
More importantly, thank you for posting Lemon Jelly. They are the shit.
