about
There are at least three bands called The Lemons. 1. The Lemons are a four-piece Mongolian alternative rock band, formed in Ulaanbaatar. They released their debut album in 2006. Personnel: Odnoo, Tulga, Anar, Uujgii and Dugaraa. They secured a devout following after their impassioned set at the 2006 Playtime Festival (Mongolia's first and biggest rock fest). Their annual performances at Playtime have consistently been lauded. Their 'Red' album was the first rock album released by a Mongolian band to achieve national commercial success without heavily compromising its rock sound. Critics described it as sounding similar to early work of The Strokes. Its hits were 'Hairtai' and 'Dzuud Noirondoo' (transcribed from the Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet). The band was able to devote its energies full time to music and began playing multiple shows a week at Ulanbaatar music venues. In 2009, The Lemons released their second album, Залуу Ленины Ойролцоо Зн Давхарт (transcribed: 'Dzathoo Lenenee Oiroltso Ze Davkart'). It expanded the band's sound to include influences from post rock to punk rock. Due to its more challenging sound, the album was less popular than their first effort, though in the three years since their first album the core Mongolian rock audience had expanded significantly and almost universally declared it a triumph. In end of 2015, The Lemons recorded their third album, called 'III'. Very touchable, soft and crystal sound of this soft-rock album make band's popularity
