Lemon Demon is the musical project of American singer-songwriter, musician, and producer Neil Cicierega, known for his eclectic and often humorous music. Cicierega, born in Boston in 1986, launched Lemon Demon as a solo venture in the early 2000s, melding elements of rock, pop, electronic, and experimental music to craft a distinctive sound characterized by witty lyrics, catchy melodies, and an internet-aware sensibility. Lemon Demon gained a following through the sharing of music online, with Cicierega's creative output and multimedia skills harnessing the nascent power of the web to build a devoted fanbase.

The project achieved widespread recognition with tracks such as "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" from the 2006 album 'Dinosaurchestra', which became an early viral sensation, showcasing Cicierega's knack for creating earworms with absurdist and referential humor. Over the years, Lemon Demon has continued to evolve, with albums like 'View-Monster' (2008), 'Nature Tapes' (EP, 2014), 'I Am Become Christmas EP' (2012), and 'Spirit Phone' (2016) reflecting a maturation in sound and lyrical depth while maintaining the playful and surrealistic spirit that fans have come to love. 'Spirit Phone' in particular has been praised for its polished production and thematic cohesion, securing Lemon Demon's place in the landscape of indie music as an innovative and cult-favorite act.
