Yes, there's certainly no denying they're lemonier
and jellier than your own average male-duo, and
the delicately daft downtempo crowd pleaser 'Nice
Weather For Ducks' only corroborates this little
piece of fruit trivia.
January 20th 2003 sees the release of not only
the CD single of 'Ducks' but the lusciously flash choreographed
DVD promotional vid' to go alongside it (the
video, you might say, but it's not now is it?). No strangers
to enormously funtastic design - whether it's album
sleeves, club flyers, publicity materials or tankards,
Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin have translated
their lush, lucid kitschscapes of colour and kinetics
into a spectacular (if surreal) full length animation.
‘Ducks’ illustrates that there is an eccentric alter-ego
to the luscious side of Lemon Jelly’s music.The charming
folk guitar and strings of the Playaway intro
soons bursts into lucid dreaming style sequences, when
everything wibbles and wobbles into an explosion of
nursery-rhyme madness. And it's all achieved with an
unashamedly English edge.
With the whole barmy experience being bound together
by funky beats and Fred’s scratching skills, the results
are nothing short of show stopping, and a real treat
for those of us who save every club flyer and every
possible shred of DR publicity material.
A crowd favourite at their recent successful London
live dates, this is happy music for happy people. It's
also backed by the ultra rare 'Soft'.
Isn't it amazing what you can do with a forgotten childrens'
nursery rhyme, a bit of Salvador Dali, some chill-out
beats, a little jazz, a little sunshine, two thirds
of a rainbow, and some sticky-back plastic?
