New album out now!
The foundations of Lemmus Lemmus were laid by Joel Ron, a part time
musician and an enthusiastic record collector, and Noam Rapaport, a
prominent musician and an accomplished keyboardist.
The long time personal friends had a creative meeting around the first
demo of the song "Hands of Time", in which the prospect of creative
musical collaboration seemed inevitable. Eddie Ron followed soon
after, from which point onwards Lemmus Lemmus started the enduring
process which has resulted in their elaborate & critically acclaimed
debut album "Chameleon Mood Swing" (released July 2004).
The meeting between creative souls, whose main objective is the
manifestation of their dreams, can be extremely potent.
Chameleon Mood Swing was created and recorded during a period of 22 months, having extensive intervals between recording sessions. Throughout this period, the members of Lemmus Lemmus have set a simple goal: To express their musical aspirations and implement individual visions within a band, with as few limitations as possible.
This was a process of musical evolution and personal growth, a lengthy
path which has concluded in a psychedelically tinted album and a
genuine emotional statement.
A couple of years have passed in which 3 the principle creators of Lemmus Lemmus have been writing, composing, and playing around with arrangements.
Re-joined by vocalist Eliya Scemama (who teamed up with Lemmus Lemmus on the 1st album), bass player Tsoof Philosoph, & drummer Or Barnea - the band went into the studio for a new adventure.
And so, after a long period of extensive recordings, new exciting soundscapes have started to emerge. Additional sounds have been contributed by Benny Dgubas on sitar, Smadar Peleg on flute, & Zohar Cohen with his Mellotron.

"Chameleon Mood Swing" (2004) - Comments and Reviews:
"One could even go as far as to say that fans of the early Pink Floyd sound might be better off with this than with whatever new recordings Pink Floyd themselves might come up with in the wake of this 2004 release".
Richie Unterberger – All Music Guide
"Filled with the sound of the Mellotron ‘chameleon mood swing' by Lemmus Lemmus is a dream-laden journey that floats off into prog/psych territories with consummate ease".
Phil McMullen - Polematic Terrascope
"Geheimtipp! Wahrscheinlich DAS Psychalbum des Jahres - Wow, ein Werk, das einen einfach nur mit einem vor Staunen, großen, offenen Mund dastehen lässt und sprachlos macht! Es gibt selten Bands die es wirklich schaffen so dermaßen gelungene Psychedelic-Songs und Stimmungen zu schaffen".
Swamp Room
"Lemmus Lemmus erinnern mich an ganz frühe Pink Floyd. An verschnörkelt simple Hits wie Julia Dream, Cymbaline oder See Emily Play".
Ragazzi Music
"A taste of early analog-electronic (with possible influences by Holger Czukay and Brian Eno) can also be traced here..."
Avi Shaked – Maelstorm Magazine
