★★★★
THE Lovely Eggs, a psychedelic punk outfit from Lancaster made up of married couple Holly Ross (guitars and vocals) and David Blackwell (drums), achieved a real coup with their fantastic fifth record.
After writing down a list of dream producers, they cold-called Dave Fridmann of Mercury Rev and The Flaming Lips fame who agreed to work with them. The outcome of this partnership is 11 very loud, fuzzy guitar-based tracks that bring to mind ’90s bands like Tiger and Kenickie.
