Lemon Jelly is a British
electronic music
duo from London
, formed in 1998. Since their inception, the band's line-up has included Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen. Lemon Jelly has been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and BRIT Awards.
Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen briefly met in North London and became friends before going their separate ways. Deakin became a DJ and co-founded his very own Airside
studios and Franglen became a studio programmer, before the two became reacquainted in 1998.
Lemon Jelly released three critially acclaimed EPs in 1998, 1999, and 2000 respectively, which secured them a record deal with Impotent Fury, a subsidiary of XL Recordings
in 2000. The band subsequently released three full-length albums before going on hiatus in 2008.
, a graphic arts company. Franglen gave up his job as a landscape gardener to become a studio programmer, who eventually would work with Primal Scream
, Björk
, and The Spice Girls. The two would periodically bump into each other at 23 Skidoo concerts. The two once again formed a friendship, and bonded over a mutual appreciation for rock music – Deakin cites XTC
and A Certain Ratio
as personal favorites – and eventually dance music.
The two began recording under name "Lemon Jelly", which according to Deakin comes from an incident when Franglen came into Deakin's kitchen and said "It smells like Lemon Jelly in here."
From 1998 to 2000, Franglen and Deakin released three limited-circulation EPs, The Bath
(1998), The Yellow
(1999), and The Midnight
(2000), on their very own label, Impotent Fury. The EPs were a critical success, and led to the duo being signed to XL Recordings
. Franglen and Deakin then collected their three limited-edition EPs into a widely-released album in 2000, Lemonjelly.ky
.
After the release of the album, Lemon Jelly licensed songs for advertising and incidental music. Notably, music from In the Bath, "A Tune for Jack", was featured in an episode of CSI: Miami
, and "The Staunton Lick", from The Yellow, was used during the final scene of the British sitcom Spaced
.
for the now defunct "Best Dance Act" category in 2004.
A number of their tracks have been used by the BBC
and other British broadcasters for trailers and incidental music, including "Nice Weather for Ducks", featuring an impersonation of John Langstaff
, and "Ramblin' Man
".
In September 2007, "Space Walk" was used in an American advertisement, "Through the Eyes of a Cat", for Friskies
cat food.
Also in September 2007 "Experiment No. 6" was used for a BBC trailer for a catch-up marathon of the hit TV show Heroes
