The Lovely Eggs

Hailing from Lancaster in the northwest of England, maverick DIY psych-pop duo The Lovely Eggs were founded in 2006 by married couple Holly Ross (guitarist and lead vocalist) and David Blackwell (drummer) from the ashes of the Holly Ross-fronted punk band Angelica. The duo kicked off their live career in New York, before returning to the UK to make an impression on home stages. The band's debut album, If You Were Fruit, released in 2009, won praise from critics and established their lo-fi style. Tracks like "Have You Ever Heard a Digital Accordion?" and "I Like Birds But I Like Other Animals Too" showcased their playful, twee-tinged approach to songwriting. Their second full-length album, Cob Dominos surfaced in early 2011 on Cherryade Records, followed by a UK tour and a collaborative project with Super Furry Animals' maestro Gruff Rhys, who produced their "Allergies" single for indie stalwart Too Pure. The duo went on to enchant a legion of indie-punk across subsequent albums such as 2018's This Is Eggland—which went to number nine on the UK Independent Albums Chart—and 2020's I Am Moron. In 2024, the Lovely Eggs released their Eggsistentialism, which was produced by The Lovely Eggs and Dave Fridmann with vibrant artwork from long-time collaborator Casey Raymond.
