It’s just this organic, natural charisma rather than this faux (nee bullshit) flair cultivated by stylists et al.

#LYRICS FOR REPEAT IT THE LOVELY EGGS HOW TO#

Given that vocalist/guitarist Holly Ross will happily confess in a one-sheet that the video for “Still Second Rate”, which reminds me of often-lauded-now-disbanded Southampton art-rockers Help She Can’t Swim, is “ a masterclass in how to not spend £20,000 on making a music video” because “ So many bands blow so much wedge on making videos it’s a bit obscene” is a testament to substance over style. In fact, there’s an argument that it has only acted to accentuate the many, many positives from the group. Staunchly DIY (by their own admission), and non-plussed about not having large budgets to blow on things like glamorous music videos, it has yet to deride from the energy the band excuse in each release that has graced us, the listening public. Not taking themselves overtly seriously because ultimately music should be fun, right?ĭavid Fridman takes production duties once again for the Lancaster group (which, despite being born in Lancashire myself, I don’t see the Twin Peaks references…), and given that Fridman’s CV charts The Flaming Lips, MGMT and Tame Impala as artists he’s worked with, is a pretty apt choice given the non-conformist approach each of those bands at times have. That’s the tongue-in-cheek nature of The Lovely Eggs, with their psychedelic, often eccentric rock and roll. I’d like to think it’s more the playfulness of the group. Whether that’s an indictment given some of the themes on the album (overblown music videos, inflated self-aggrandizing, Brexit) or just the band being playful is up for some ambiguity. It’s just that their output is that which should by all rights fall under that “cult” monicker – an output none more so than on their latest album, I Am Moron.

It’s hard to say that Lancaster’s The Lovely Eggs have a cult following when you count the fans the duo can boast Iggy Pop is a fan, as is Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq and a number of other luminaries within the music press.
