The Lovely Eggs like birds; other animals too

It’s been a while since we covered any of the bands that will be playing at this year’s Indietracks, and so today we have The Lovely Eggs. They were one of the bands on the lineup that I wasn’t familiar with, but diving in I knew very quickly that my ears are going to get along with them very well.

The Lovely Eggs consist of a boy and a girl, and they manage to make a hell of a lot of noise for only two people. The guitars are almost lost in a sea of distortion, a xylophone seems to make the odd appearance and the drums hold it all together. All of this is backdrop for the vocals of Holly Ross, who seems to have found the magical spot on the “sweet-but-not-too-sweet” scale.

I haven’t heard very many of their songs yet, but I’m looking forward to exploring them if they are half as good as I Like Birds... The only problem this presents is that it’s yet another band added to my list of Indietracks “must sees”. So much awesomeness, so little time.

The Lovely Eggs’ split EP with The Sexual Hot Bitches is out now on the consistently brilliant Filthy Little Angels.
