Lemon Jelly

Lemon Jelly - Pushy

It seems that putting new technology in the hands of the creative amongst us will continue to help us expand the very elements, the very definition of what constitutes a song - without ever changing the immutable laws of what makes a "good" song.

In 'Pushy', Lemon Jelly set up relaxed melodic loops of synthetic pianos, strings, drums and guitars and overlay a constructed conversation between a bashful, young English schoolgirl being tenderly questioned by an older male about how she feels about herself and others who are more 'pushy' . Lemon Jelly's tools are utterly artificial but the result is hypnotically affecting. We are eavesdropping on something private here, something personal - but we are drawn in. We want to know more. The soothing rhythms and the engaging patter of the dialogue give this song its warm and gentle soul.
