THE LOVELY EGGS, die Psych Punks aus Nordengland, kredenzen mit "This Is Eggland" ein Album, das einmal mehr ihren Status als eine der einzigartigsten, innovativsten und authentischsten Bands des britischen Undergrounds unterstreicht.

Härter und direkter als je zuvor vermittelt das verheiratete Paar Holly Ross (Gitarre, Gesang) und David Blackwell (Schlagzeug) einen grimmigen DIY-Gedanken, einen surrealen Sinn für Humor und einen typisch britischen Realismus.

Zum ersten Mal überhaupt arbeiteten die beiden mit einem Produzenten und konnten gleich den Grammy-gekürten Dave Fridman (MERCURY REV, THE FLAMING LIPS) dazu bringen, die explosive Mischung aus Krautrock, 60s Psych und Punkrock Attitüde der LOVELY EGGS mit seinem Feenstaub zu veredeln.

Der Albumtitel ist eine scherzhafte Referenz der Shane Meadows Serie ,This Is England" als Kommentar zum aktuellen Status Quo auf den britischen Inseln.

THE LOVELY EGGS ermutigen die Menschen dazu, sich in diesen unsicheren Zeiten ihre eigene Realität zu bauen.

Das Album dreht sich darum, ein Outsider zu sein und die Dinge anders zu machen. Völlig ohne Hemmungen sind die LOVELY EGGS ganz sie selbst und haben Spaß dabei.

Wir können uns nur ihrem Charme ergeben. [ENG] Northern England psychedelic punks THE LOVELY EGGS return with a mind-melting new album: This Is Eggland.

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've done previously, married couple Holly Ross (guitar/vocals) and David Blackwell (drums) bring together a fierce DIY ethos, surreal sense of humour and kitchen-sink realism.

Working with a producer for the very first time, legendary Grammy award winning 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, all flipped over and egged up.

They create their own world and invite us to join them in Eggland. Be prepared for a joyous riot of a ride.

The album title "This is Eggland" is a cheeky nod to Shane Meadows' series, This Is England.

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! A gratifyingly rich sounding record, which still retains the raw energy of the band's sound but harnesses a real power and dynamism.

It's much heavier than anything they've done before. "This Is Eggland" is a giant leap forward in their wild-ride of a career.

The album is like listening in on THE LOVELY EGGS' own secret world, with philosophical songs about the mysteries of the universe ("Hello I Am Your Sun"), to abandoning " the grass is always greener" mentality ("Wiggy Giggy"), to being on the wrong side of society or the music industry ("I'm With You") and several inspired by local witchcraft.

Unashamed to be themselves and have fun while they're at it, THE LOVELY EGGS weave an intoxicatingly magnetic magic spell and we're helplessly and willingly falling under it.
