Ahead of their new album ‘Eggsistentialism’, out May 17th, and their UK tour in May and June, Lancaster pysch-punk duo The Lovely Eggs are releasing a video for their epic new single ‘Nothing/Everything’ today.
“Nothing/Everything is the Yin/Yang of life,” explains singer Holly Ross. “There’s hope and despair, patience and frustration, the mundane and the extraordinary. There is a universal and eternal magic within the everyday world around us that needs to be recognised, especially when the chips are down. This song is simply what is. It’s not looking forward or back. It’s us now. It’s uplifting and it’s tragic.”
The song is complimented by a video created by contemporary visual artists Wood and Harrison, who are best known for their works of physical minimalist performance, exhibiting in Tate, MoMA, and Centre Pompidou.
New album ‘Eggsistentialism’ is released on May 17 – it’s their first new album since the release of their Number 1 Independent Chart topper, ‘I Am Moron’ at the start of 2020 . But it’s not like they’ve been lazy, oh no. They made their own TV series EGGS TV and hosted it on YouTube, they dueted with Iggy Pop, piled into their van and played a load of sold-out gigs and festivals, spent two years fighting to save Lancaster Music Co-Op (a community rehearsal rooms and recording studio where they live), and then they got their heads down and wrote a new album.
It’s the bands most expansive, mind-melting collection of songs yet, and sees the Lancaster psych-punk duo sprawling between incendiary punk rock and softer, more introspective psychedelia.
