This resulted in the creation of Jellyfish and with it some of the most sublime pop music of the MTV era, featuring arrangements that demanded to be put under a microscope and witticism-laden lyrics that gazed at the world through a unique lens. Jellyfish existed both<br>within the rock trends of times and apart from them, meshing power pop, arena rock, and whatever other types of music fit a song\u2019s mood in a way that turned each song into its own aural spectacle. \u201cWe don\u2019t fit anywhere, and we\u2019re up against a wall all the time,\u201d Manning told the Los Angeles Times in 1993. \u201cIt would be very easy to slip into whatever the current fad is and cash in on that movement for as long as it lasts. Fortunately, we\u2019re not associated with anything like that.\u201d Their monster-sized hooks made them a pop band; their arch lyrics fit them in snugly alongside the too-cool-for-school modern rock crowd; they had a respect for the pop-rock titans who had preceded them, as proven with covers of Wings, Argent, Badfinger, Styx, Elton John, and other album-rock stars they\u2019d stick into their live sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/NEWLANDX001-Jellyfish-3D.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/NEWLANDX001-Jellyfish-3D.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/NEWLANDX001-Jellyfish-3D.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/NEWLANDX001-Jellyfish-3D-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/NEWLANDX001-Jellyfish-3D-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/NEWLANDX001-Jellyfish-3D-65x65.jpeg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Jellyfish\u2019s two albums, Bellybutton (1990) and their magnum opus Spilt Milk (1993), made clear that Sturmer and Manning were leaders of an album band\u2014the songs flowed and crashed into one another, making each long-player its own self-contained universe. But their keen knowledge of pop\u2019s inner workings, and the minute detailing that they gave to each song, made them undeniably a great singles band as well. Looking at them through this series of<br>seven 7-inches, we see a group who could create perfect power pop that had allegiances to the Beatles, ELO, Wings, XTC, Queen, Supertramp, and Todd Rundgren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">From their very first single \u2018The King Is Half-Undressed\u2019 through to gems like \u2018Baby\u2019s Coming Back\u2019, \u2018New Mistake\u2019, \u2018Bedspring Kiss\u2019 \u2018I Wanna Stay Home\u2019, and \u2018The Ghost At Number One\u2019, these beautifully presented singles show us how on the money Jellyfish really were. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JELLYFISH -&#8216; WHEN THESE MEMORIES FADE 7\u201d VINYL SINGLES BOX SET&#8217; RELEASED BY NEW LAND &#8211; 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 On 30th September 2022, reissue label New Land + celebrates the singles career of enigmatic \u201890s US rock band Jellyfish with the release of When These Memories Fade.
