The Dylans - Lemon Afternoon My Hands Are Tied
Review by Marica Curatella
Dylans' Lemon Afternoon My Hands Are Tied is a captivating album that showcases the band's impressive songwriting ability and musical talent. The album features ten tracks that blend together seamlessly, creating a cohesive listening experience that is both engaging and thought-provoking.
The album opens with "Lemon Afternoon," a dreamy track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's use of layered instrumentation and lush harmonies creates a rich, textured sound that draws the listener in. The lyrics are introspective and poetic, adding an extra layer of depth to the song.
As the album progresses, tracks like "Dancing With Myself" and "My Hands Are Tied" showcase the band's ability to write catchy, upbeat tunes that still maintain the introspective nature of the album. The lyrics explore themes of self-reflection and personal growth, making the album feel like a journey of self-discovery.

About The Dylans
The neo-psychedelic British band the Dylans formed in Sheffield, England in 1989 around the nucleus of vocalist/bassist Colin Gregory and guitarists and Andy Curtis. Before ever even performing live, the group won a contract with in the summer of 1990, and after recruiting keyboardist Quentin Jennings and drummer Garry Jones they made their concert debut in the early weeks of the following year. The Dylans' first single "Godlike" appeared not long after, reaching the Top Ten on the U.K. indie charts; after replacing Curtis with guitarist Andy Cook, they returned with the two-sided "Lemon Afternoon"/"My Hands Are Tied." After a third indie hit, "Planet Love," the Dylans issued their self-titled debut LP in October 1991. In the wake of a grueling tour, they resurfaced in 1992 with the single "Mary Quaint in Blue," even as the group seemed in a constant state of flux after Jones was fired, Cook switched to drums, and Craig Scott was recruited on guitar; soon Jennings, who had taken a leave of absence to care for his ill wife, was replaced by keyboardist Ike Glover. By the time of their second LP, late 1993's Spirit Finger, the face of British pop music had altered dramatically, and the Dylans now seemed dated; the record fared poorly, and they soon disbanded.

Comments
Gourock Bay Hotel probably 1991. All of us up on that wee stage jumping about like the kids we were ?
?
Great band that never really broke through.
Sixth form.
Aye up Gaz, how's life treating you? I still think the band after was better :)
The Dylans are class!
Hazy summer dayz, lying in the long grass, walking through the woods by the river & getting properly stoned listening to the Dylans... great band but fairly limited in their longevity due to their style? Try telling Temples that - they are back on the psychedelica pony!
The Dylans debut is an absolute classic, wiping the floor with many better known records of the time. Thank you for your part in making it happen.
Great band Gaz, that first LP was minted from start to finish. If it wasn't for the huge competition at that time with so many good bands this would have been up there with the Rose, Mondays, Carpets, Charlatans etc and for me it is. I spent many a day on LSD tripping to this great music and many of my friends also loved it. Bring back The Dylans. I listened to 3 albums over every other Indie band at that time with the Roses debut, The La's and The Dylans. Class mate :)
Unfortunately I never got one of the scratch and sniff lemon stickers but a great bit of marketing & promotion I would imagine. Top band and a shame they changed their sound on that second LP.
i bought the 12" of this. i didnt know anybody else that liked them. i was a loner in the world of dylan-dom
Makes me chuckle how people still like my old band after all these years!
Nice one!
Nice one!
@rickyt226 ahh the cardboard lemons I've still got one knocking about somewhere - you didn't get any of the scratch and sniff lemon stickers though?
Great first album, dreamy, trippy and full of Hammond & Wah Wah guitar...Love it! I also own this on vinyl along with Godlike, Planet Love & Mary Quant In Blue...I wrote to them when I was younger back in 91 and they sent me a poster, signed photos and a cardboard lemon with the band name on it which I have kept all these years and a nice wee letter too...Very kind of them and something I will always cherish...Good post
I've loved this thing ever since I bumped into it on an Indie Top 20 compilation years ago. Now excuse me while I go check out the other Dylans tracks uploaded here.
Found this on the EP/single way back when. My favorite Dylans song!
Thanks for sharing this brilliant song.
