It was pretty deep and we really identified with it. We feel the same about Lancaster where we live. It might be a shithole, but it&#8217;s OUR shithole and we love it. Not much goes on up here and there&#8217;s not much to do so it&#8217;s kind of like living in space. But we like being cosmonauts!&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The Lovely Eggs are one of the most unique, innovative and genuine bands on the British Underground music scene. Heavier and more in-your-face than anything they&#8217;ve done previously, married couple Ross and David Blackwell (drums) bring together a fierce DIY ethos, surreal sense of humour and kitchen-sink realism.\u00a0 Working with a producer for the first time, Fridmann lends his magic dust to bring out the best of The Lovely Eggs&#8217; explosive blend of motoric krautrock, 60s psychedelia and punk rock attitude, all flipped over and egged up.<\/p>\n<p>The album title &#8216;This is Eggland&#8217; is a cheeky nod to Shane Meadows&#8217; series, &#8216;This Is England&#8217;. It is a comment on the current state of modern Britain, with The Lovely Eggs encouraging people to build their own worlds and create their own reality in these troubled times. The album is about being an outsider and doing things differently, eschewing society&#8217;s conventions as they have done. Since having their son in 2013, the pair have taken him on tour with them, racing round the UK with two fingers up to conventional family life firmly out of the window. They have also remained in their hometown of Lancaster, despite its cultural and geographical isolation. As Holly explains:<i> &#8220;On this album we&#8217;re saying it&#8217;s OK to live life differently, we&#8217;re doing it and you can do it too!&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This Is Eggland&#8217; is a giant leap forward in their wild-ride of a career. The album is like listening in on The Lovely Eggs&#8217; own secret world, with philosophical songs about the mysteries of the universe (<em>Hello I Am Your Sun<\/em>), to abandoning &#8220;the grass is always greener&#8221; mentality (<em>Wiggy Giggy<\/em>), to being on the wrong side of society or the music industry (<em>I&#8217;m With You<\/em>) and several inspired by local witchcraft. Unashamed to be themselves and have fun while they&#8217;re at it, The Lovely Eggs weave an intoxicatingly magnetic magic spell and we&#8217;re helplessly and willingly falling under it.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/bzhlr\/z1r5vo\/jlgt0e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"e2ma-style\">Pre-order &#8216;<\/span><span class=\"e2ma-style\">This Is Eggland&#8217;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net\/20180123\/be\/1a\/42\/6a\/3f8389db941117413b802f76_560x560.jpg?resize=377%2C377\" alt=\"The Lovely Eggs This is Eggland cover\" width=\"377\" height=\"377\" border=\"0\" \/><strong><br \/>\n&#8216;This Is Eggland&#8217; track listing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>01.\u00a0 Hello I Am Your Sun<br \/>\n02.\u00a0 Wiggy Giggy<br \/>\n03.\u00a0 Dickhead<br \/>\n04.\u00a0 I Shouldn&#8217;t Have Said That<br \/>\n05.\u00a0 Return Of Witchcraft<br \/>\n06.\u00a0 I&#8217;m With You<br \/>\n07.\u00a0 Repeat it<br \/>\n08.\u00a0 Witchcraft<br \/>\n09.\u00a0 Big Sea<br \/>\n10.\u00a0 Let Me Observe<br \/>\n11.\u00a0 Would You Fuck<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>UK tour dates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>with support from Phill Jupitus (Porky The Poet) and Mr. Ben and The Bens<\/em><\/p>\n<p>02\/08 \u2013 Lancaster, UK @ The Yorkshire House [SOLD OUT]<br \/>\n02\/09 \u2013 Leeds, UK @ The Brudenell Social Club<br \/>\n02\/10 \u2013 Newcastle, UK @ The Cluny<br \/>\n02\/11 \u2013 Edinburgh, UK @ The Mash House<br \/>\n02\/12 \u2013 Glasgow, UK @ Stereo<br \/>\n02\/13 \u2013 Hull, UK @ The Adelphi<br \/>\n02\/14 \u2013 Cardiff, UK @ Clwb Ifor Bach<br \/>\n02\/15 \u2013 Oxford, UK @ The Cellar<br \/>\n02\/16 \u2013 London, UK @ The 100 Club [SOLD OUT]<br \/>\n02\/17 \u2013 Manchester, UK @ Band on the Wall<\/p>\n<p>For more information on The Lovely Eggs, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/bzhlr\/z1r5vo\/zdht0e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"e2ma-style\">thelovelyeggs.co.uk<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Northern England&#8217;s psych-punk duo The Lovely Eggs has shared a new single, Wiggy Giggy leading up to the release of their new, Dave Fridmann (Flaming <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=27963\" title=\"The Lovely Eggs share new single &#8216;Wiggy Giggy&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27965,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,25,28,30],"tags":[7114,6796,6795,7113],"class_list":["post-27963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-new-release","tag-egg-records","tag-the-lovely-eggs","tag-this-is-eggland","tag-wiggy-giggy"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/b89f047f1d389ba17e524b00_880x586.jpg?fit=880%2C586&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7h1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":28264,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=28264","url_meta":{"origin":27963,"position":0},"title":"The Lovely Eggs share video for &#8216;Wiggy Giggy&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"February 15, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Northern England's psych-punk duo The Lovely Eggs has shared a video for their single, Wiggy Giggy \u2013 leading up to next week's release of their new, Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips\/Mercury Rev\/Tame Impala) produced album, 'This Is Eggland'.
