Wildlife [VINYL]Opis:Review It is generally considered poor form for an album reviewer to unquestioningly recycle information gleaned from the press release included with the album. Nevertheless, sometimes it seems to say everything you were planning to.

The blurb for the third album by married Lancastrian indie duo The Lovely Eggs notes that they’ve worked, if only fleetingly, with John Shuttleworth and Jad Fair. The notion of them acting as a connection point between these two – a bumbling, Casio-playing Yorkshire comedy character and an American lo-fi icon who elevated not knowing how to play music into an art form – is pretty much a perfect summary. Still, you may be wanting to hear about the album…Make no mistake, The Lovely Eggs are about as indie as indie gets. In addition to Shuttleworth and Fair, their stylistic ancestry takes in the tweest of 80s twee-pop – Talulah Gosh or The Pooh Sticks – and other descendants of theirs, like Helen Love and Bearsuit. Holly Ross, vocalist and guitarist, used to be in Angelica, who were briefly notable in the late 90s with a single called Why Did You Let My Kitten Die?.

This all masks the fact that the duo can rock when they wish, even if they’re not exactly Slayer. Opening track of 18, Allergies, is a spirited clatter which attempts mild psychedelia two-thirds through; elsewhere, the 59-second The Undertone is a petulant punkish thrash.

Listeners turned off by whimsy in music, or dubious about the affectations of the twee scene, should proceed with caution. At certain points on Wildlife, you feel The Lovely Eggs are missing a trick by not actively writing songs for children.

The brief title track is essentially a list of animals which shouldn’t be considered wildlife (flies, worms etc); and Green Beans actually has the sound of a ringing telephone while Ross sings about the same. I Just Want Someone to Fall in Love With mentions “a lobster on a lead” for no obvious reason other than it sounds funny.

All this considered, Ross and husband David Blackwell have charm in heaped spoons, and are unlikely to disappoint existing Lovely Eggs fans here. --Noel GardnerFind more music at the BBC This link will take you off in a new window Product Description The Lovely Eggs return with their third album 'WILDLIFE' after a year and a half touring their critically acclaimed second album 'COB DOMINOS'. This time the Eggs return with an album that encapsulates the isolation of extensive touring and brief time back in their home town Lancaster. The two piece raucous noise pop duo, combine their gritty British northern surreal lyrics with thunderous guitars and crashing drums on this their third self-recorded gem. Working alongside Gruff Rhys who produced Allergies and Cornershop's Tjinder Singh who has remixed Food for a special digital download, Wildlife is yet another wonderful and unique album from a band who, continue to cement their reputation as one of the most genuinely exciting and essential bands around today. Already lead track Allergies, the first single taken from Wildlife, released on the Too Pure Singles Club, has won the BBC 6 Music Rebel Playlist - with 82% of the public vote and declared winner of Steve Lamacq's 6 Music Round Table as well as Artrocker's single of the month. For The Lovely Eggs being in a band is a way of life. True to this, they live the way they play; fiercely and constantly in search of the good times. Touring extensively throughout the UK, Europe and the USA, The Lovely Eggs have become underground festival favourites performing at SXSW, Bestival, Green Man plus many more with their off the wall anthems 'Fuck It' and 'Don't look at me I don't like it'. With much support from 6 Music and Radio One's Huw Stephen's (who tipped them as wild cards in FHM's 2012 one's to watch) Holly (guitar/vocs) and David (drums/vocs) have worked with comedian Graham Fellows (aka John Shuttleworth) as well as Jad Fair from the seminal Texas band Half Japanese.
