The Lovely Eggs
Allergies Too Pure 7”

Article written by Ged M - Dec 6, 2011

The Lovely Eggs’ sleeves always look good but Casey Raymond’s cover for the latest Too Pure singles club release is a stunning reimagining of The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band’s first album sleeve and perfectly sums up the charming idiosyncracy of this band – and it's another reason why physical format trumps download, always. And the music more than lives up to its art. Produced by Gruff Rhys, ‘Allergies’ is full-on punky pop, full of bright-sounding guitars and as far from twee as Morrissey is from McDonalds. ‘Slug Graveyard’, meanwhile, represents their more experimental side, a mix of drone-rock and hardcore riffage. A monumental way to end their year.
