Franglen and Deakin initially released three limited-circulation EPs: The Bath (1998), The Yellow (1999), and The Midnight (2000), all of which were then collected into a widely-released album in 2000, Lemonjelly.ky, which was both a critical and a commercial success.
Their second album (and self-proclaimed first studio album), Lost Horizons, was released in 2002, and was another success.
Their last album, 2005's '64-'95, featured a sticker to warn listeners that "This is our new album. It's not like our old album." The title comes from the fact that each track features a single sample drawn from years between 1964 and 1995, incorporating each sample in a variety of imaginative ways.
Some of their best or well-known songs are:
- The Staunton Lick
- Kneel Before Your God
- Space Walk
- Nice Weather For Ducks
- '75 Aka Stay With You
- '90 aka A Man Like Me
They have also made mix sets for Radio 1's Mary-Anne Hobbs' 'Breezeblock' show, as well as for a variety of other shows (6 Mix, XFM's 'The Hijack', The Blue Room, etc). They have remixed a number of other artists, including Badly Drawn Boy, Pet Shop Boys and Coldcut, as well as collaborated with William Shatner on a track from his latest album.
Fred Deakin is also co-founder and creative director of print and interactive design agency Airside.
In January 2008, the duo announced Lemon Jelly would be breaking up for the foreseeable future. Fred Deakin released the news on their forum. He also stated that whilst there was a possibility the two would work together again, they would be pursuing solo careers for the time being.

The lyrics of Lemon Jelly's song '79 aka The Shouty Track are relatively simple and repetitive, consisting of various "argh" and "ok Bill" exclamations. However, the context of the song suggests a deeper meaning. The song appears to be a reference to the frustration and stress of the creative process, specifically in the music industry. The "argh" and "ok Bill" could represent the tension and disagreements between band members or between the band and producers. The repetition of these phrases could also symbolize the recurring obstacles and challenges faced by musicians as they strive for success. The song may be a brief, humorous reflection on this struggle, one that many in the industry can relate to.
