Lemon Jelly have shot straight to the top of the metaphorical chill-out charts.

Theirs is dance music, sleek electric and acoustic guitars blended with mellow beats while brass instruments croon.

Made up of Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen, Lemon Jelly emerged on the music scene with a series of three hand-printed EPs.

Whipping the music media into a frenzy even though the lads hadn't been signed, the releases were gathered on lemonjelly.ky, a web site address they registered in the Cayman Islands three years ago.

Never photographed, the Lemon Jelly persona has been created entirely through their amazing graphics.

They fall somewhere between the light disco sound of Air and gentle mockery of the musical pretensions of that genre.

Franglen began as a gardener to the stars, a career which took a calamitous turn when a bridge he'd constructed collapsed - with Freddie Mercury standing on it.

From there he went on to write music for Sega, Sony, television and film.

He later started programming keyboards for bands including Pulp, Primal Scream, Blur and Bjork.

As Deakin is co-owner of a graphics company which works with the White Cube Art Gallery and Radio 1, such image awareness perhaps comes as less of a surprise.

Lemonjelly.ky was well received and the band capitalised on their credibility with the release of Soft Rock, a spin on Chicago's 1976 classic If You Leave Me Now.

Showing more evidence of their incredible media knowledge, very few copies were available.

The most desirable ones were clad in denim with a condom in the back pocket.

Such clever marketing antics ensured the Lemon Jelly myth began to spread.

October 2003 saw the release of Lost Horizons, Lemon Jelly's first proper album, which fulfils all expectations.

Cocktail music for the end of the world, the one flaw on it is perhaps the irritating Nice Weather For Ducks.

But this is a minor criticism, particularly as the single release of the song has Soft Rock as a B-side.

How all these laid-back grooves will transfer live is less certain but with material this good, the risk will probably be well worth it.
