Lemon Jelly is a musical collaboration between Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin. Their musical style could be thought to be somewhere between off-center easy listening and trip-hop. They initially released three limited-circulation EPs, The Bath (1998), The Yellow (1999), and The Midnight (2000), which were then collected into an widely-released album in 2000, Lemonjelly.KY, which was both a critical and a commercial success. Their second album, Lost Horizons, released in 2002,featured the singles "Space Walk" and "Nice Weather For Ducks" and was nominated for the 2003 Mercury Music Prize and the Brit Awards.
