In an office where we’ve been swamped by new records from Doves, Idlewild, LCD, Arcade Fire, The Silent League, Mercury Rev, Athlete, Daft Punk and many, many more - all of which there are many tens of valid points to make - this just feels like a waste of our and their time. It stands to reason that the release of this is decidedly low-key and in fact the packaging is as unassuming as the track itself. Roll on the (hopefully more substantial) LP…

Lemon Jelly: The Shouty Track

I mean… what happened here? It’s very rare for an outspoken, verbose DiS journalist to be caught with their thesaurus-ed pants down, but… what can one say about Lemon Jelly’s ‘The Shouty Track’? It’s an odd thing; one vocal looped over and over a nothing gentle electronic track.

Re: Lemon Jelly - The Shouty Track
the new album pretty much fills that criteria maybe, but lost horizons and .ky are both incredibly detailed and full of perfectly timed and instrumented music, to a fun and uplifting effect which transcends the 'novelty' label.
i guess i was expecting too much from the latest album. This single is the best song on there IMO, and whilst i like it, it just doesnt have the timeless charm and deepness of their other material.
