North London duo Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen AKA Lemon Jelly go back with their unusual brand of downbeat madness, melody and whimsical humour.

They’ve come a long means due to the fact 2000’s debut album “KY”, a compilation of their first 3 restrained 10″ vinyl EP’s. A promptly expanding fanbase and the discharge of 2002’s “Lost Horizon’s” were right away accompanied by way of a Brit and Mercury Music Prize nominations. All of this will have no doubt piled the drive on for their subsequent album free up, ’sixty four-’95, developed round a variety of samples spanning these very dates.

The boys happen to have been up for the limitation providing a unconditionally basic Lemon Jelly album but not like one we’ve seen in the past. Whilst there may be nonetheless the abundance of annoyingly catchy piano loops, samples and simplistic melodies kpop lightstick wholesale which have served them so smartly in the prior, ’64-’95 suddenly looks more mature. Whilst not as without delay likeable as “Lost Horizon’s” this ensures bigger longevity and is maybe the whole higher 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 possess guitar anthems, “The Shouty Track” which samples Scottish punks The Scars and the Chemical Brother tribute track “Come Down On Me” which makes use of samples from the now defunct heavy-metallers Master of Reality. Additional contributions from Terri Walker and Star Trek’s very own William Shatner be certain that that the men supply the style of eclectic album we’ve now come to predict and love.

This is the 1st album they’ve made with an accompanying DVD, lovingly created with the aid of Airside, the design service provider consisting of fifty% Deakin. All very incestuous yet it without a doubt does paintings smartly. Now, furthermore to the earlier one-of-a-kind “Jelly” packaging & art, we are given visuals to strengthen each and every monitor. How great of them!
