LOVELY EGGS AND DOG DIRT EYES AND WASHING LINE SMILES…
January 12th 2011
SINGLE: THE LOVELY EGGS – Don’t Look At Me
(Cherryade) - Look at them, a pop work of genius and look at ‘im with
his sausage roll thumb, and look at her with her cloth-line smile and
look at him and look at him, don’t look at me. Now if Art Brut were
from the North and didn’t want you to look at ‘em all the
time then they’d be The Lovely Eggs… These two Lovely Eggs are as
satirically unhinged as ever with their dog dirt smiles and their
hairdryer hearts - don’t look at me, I don’t like it. We know you’re
spineless and there’s nothing to see, we need some wine so lend us a
pound. These lovely Lovely Eggs are regulars on our Resonance FM radio
show, and indeed on the pages of Organ, with their brontosaurus tales,
their feisty smiles and high-pitch excited voices, and this is their
new single, their finest feistiest of several releases so far.
Shouty
Nothern pop girl and boy from kiss me quick Lancashire, boundless shouty
bouncy don’t look at me confident energy. They’re busy playing all over
the place - Amsterdam squats, Los Angeles scrap yards - and this
excellent single precedes their new album Cob Dominos
– out any moment now so we’re told – we’re looking forward to it,
though I do rather suspect classic pop singles is what these Lovely
Eggs are really about. 
Look
at him with his dog dirt eyes... The Lovely Eggs make classic grrl feisty punk pop in all the best traditions of Shonen Knife,
Disco Pistol, the glory days of Bis (only far less antagonising and far
more likeable in that Art Brut way than Bis ever really were). Don’t
look at her with her hairdryer heart, don’t look at me, I don’t like
it… look at us with our red wine smile, look at her with her washing
line teeth… look at them…. I can hear someone singing this over there
in the corner of the Organ office already, this is dangerously
infectious, don’t look at me, you clearly need help… Their finest
single yet.
Don’t Look At Me is out on Cherryade Records on January 31st
The Lovely Eggs will be touring in February in support of their new album
