This Is Eggland is a giant leap forward in their wild-ride of a career. It’s much heavier than anything they’ve done before. The result is a gratifyingly rich sounding record, which still retains the raw energy of the band’s sound but harnesses a real power and dynamism. They then went out to Dave's Studio in New York State, for mixing. The album was self-recorded at Lancaster Musician's Co-op and the Eggs’ own house. The album is about being an outsider and doing things differently, eschewing society’s conventions as they have done. It is a comment on the current state of modern Britain. The album title is a cheeky nod to Shane Meadows’ series, This Is England. They create their own world and invite us to join them in Eggland. Working with a producer for the very first time, Dave Fridmann (Mercury Rev, The Flaming Lips) lends his magic dust to bring out the best of The Lovely Eggs’ explosive blend of motoric krautrock, 60s psychedelia and punk rock attitude. Heavier and more in-your-face than anything they’ve done previously, Holly Ross (guitar / vocals) and David Blackwell (drums) bring together a fierce DIY ethos, surreal sense of humour and kitchen-sink realism. The Lovely Eggs are one of the most unique, innovative and genuine bands on the British Underground music scene. Northern psychedelic punks The Lovely Eggs return with a mind-melting new album.
