PSYCH-PUNK DUO THE LOVELY EGGS ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE \u2018LONG STEM CARNATIONS\u2019 TO BE RELEASED<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Lovely Eggs<\/strong> will release brand new single \u2018Long Stem Carnations\u2019 on Friday July 10 on Egg Records. The track, taken from their number one selling album \u2018I am Moron\u2019 will be released on limited-edition coloured 7\u201d vinyl. Backed by brand new B side \u2018The Voyage\u2019, \u2018Long Stem Carnations\u2019 was inspired by the Mars One programme, a global project which aims to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars.\u00a0 Applicants are offered a one-way ticket- never to see earth again. This fascinated Lovely Eggs Holly and David who drew parallels between this mission and their own isolation as a band. \u2018Long Stem Carnations\u2019 is a funeral march for society\u2019s outcasts and freaks. It\u2019s an existential voyage in cosmic form.\u00a0\u201cIs there an internal self-destruct button that cannot be destroyed?\u201d said Holly. \u201cWe are all the pilots of our own ship. You’ve just got to remember it\u2019s important to try and hang on and see the mission through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018I am Moron\u2019, bears the fruit of The Lovely Eggs second collaboration with Grammy award winning producer Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Mogwai, MGMT, Tame Impala) at his studio in upstate New York. It captures the zeitgeist of post Brexit Britain and mysteriously seems to point towards the unimaginable future we\u2019re now living in. Many songs on the album are about isolation and living a new way in a different world. When The Lovely Eggs made \u2018I am Moron\u2019 it was like they had a crystal ball.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sonically, the album brings with it a mix of heavy psych, pop and strangeness. Some songs flicker between an earthly realism and the otherworldly loneliness of a one-way space mission.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upon its release \u2018I am Moron\u2019 went straight to Number One in the UK Independent Album Charts. It also took the Number One spot in the UK vinyl charts as well as the UK Independent Album Breakers Chart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an absolute gutter for us but with little direction from the government, we don\u2019t want to put people\u2019s safety and lives at risk. We imagine that even by autumn even if gigs CAN happen, they\u2019ll be very different to the usual Lovely Eggs experience and we don\u2019t want that! We want the normal Egg-shaped chaos that you\u2019ve come to expect from a Lovely Eggs gig.\u00a0 So, we\u2019ve taken the decision to postpone our touring until next year. All tickets for the old shows originally scheduled for April and rescheduled for July are now valid for the new shows in February. In the cases where we have seen a venue change\/upgrade the tickets for the original show in that city remain valid. Our shows at O2 Ritz in Manchester and Heaven in London have been rescheduled to May. We really hope people hang onto their tickets, not get refunds and join us next year. We live to tour and tour to live. This is our life and our livelihood. Once this shitstorm is over. We want a party like no other!! Looking forward to seeing you all next year!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lovely Eggs are willfully independent. With NINE BBC 6 music sessions under their belt, as well as sessions for Radio One and Radio X, they have enjoyed huge support from UK radio. And they continue to sell out gigs across the UK without the help of management, booking agent or record label support.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They have produced six albums. Fifth album \u201cThis is Eggland\u201d saw their first encounter with Dave Fridmann as producer\/mixer after Holly left a drunken message on his studio answerphone asking him to work with them. Dave got back in touch with them a year later and Eggland was born. It was released in February 2018 to critical acclaim, was added to the 6 music Playlist and announced by HMV as one of their Top 50 Albums of the year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With observational and often surreal lyrics about life The Lovely Eggs have a powerful raw sound that creates the sonic illusion of a band twice their size and have become known for their ferocious yet joyous live performances. They\u2019re undoubtedly the most real band in Britain, operating in a world when true authenticity is hard to find.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lovely Eggs are one of the most exciting, innovative and genuine bands of the Great British Underground. Welcome to their world. Welcome To Eggland!<\/p>\n
