The Lovely Eggs - Cob Dominos
Regular price $28.00 Save $-28.00Product Description
-
The
second
album
on
the
band’s
own
label.
Described
as
unhinged,
strange,
bizarre,
cuckoo
and
howling
mad;
but
with
a
growing
army
of
fans
including
Radio
One’s
Huw
Stephens
and
Art
Brut's
Eddie
Argos
you'd
be
crazy
not
to
fall
in
love
with
their
underground
grunge-pop
sound.
Inspired
by
everyday
life,
coupled
with
a
fierce
ethos
that
music
should
be
about
magic
and
art
and
feeling
and
fun,
the
Lancashire
duo
have
more
in
common
with
writer
Richard
Brautigan
&
artist
David
Shrigley
than
they
do
with
their
musical
peers.
Occasionally
satirical
and
often
surreal
The
Lovely
Eggs
won't
deliver
a
straightforward
love
song
to
your
door,
instead
you’ll
be
taken
on
a
journey
into
Holly
&
David’s
world
where
there
are
no
seatbelts!
Receiving
airplay
from
Huw
Stephens,

Fair.

have
played
everywhere
from
Amsterdam
squats
and
Los
Angeles
scrap
yards
to
steam
trains
in
Ripley
and
charity
shops
in
Leeds.
Cob
Dominos
is
a
truly
wonderful
and
unique
album,
delivering
all
of
the
quirky
charm
and
sonic
thrills
we’ve
come
to
expect
from
a
band
who
have
continued
to
go
from
strength
to
strength
and
cement
their
reputation
as
one
of
the
most
genuinely
exciting
and
essential
bands
around
today.
It
is
like
no
other
album
you
will
hear
this,
or
any
other,
year,
and
is
a
fitting
testament
to
a
band
whose
imagination
and
creativity
seems
to
know
no
bounds.
“You
won't
hear
another
band
like
this
anywhere
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
Millennium.
The
Lovely
Eggs
are
just
brilliant!”
