For The Lovely Eggs being in a band is a way of life. It’s about art. It’s about creativity and expression. It’s about following your own path, doing things your own way and it’s about doing what you want. And it’s about taking the longest song you’ve written to date and releasing it as a single!
Lifted from the band’s forthcoming ‘Eggsistentialism’ album, which is released May 17th, new single ‘Nothing/Everything’ clocks in at just over seven-minutes and is nothing short of The Lovely Eggs magnum opus about life. It’s gorgeously melodic, uplifting yet melancholic, and sparkling with psychedelic glitter.
“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.
“We are huge fans of Wood and Harrison,” says Holly. “As soon as we discovered their work, we felt an immediate connection with what they were doing and drew parallels between what they seemed to be expressing through their art with what we are trying to achieve through music. We had such a clear vision that they had to make the video for ‘Nothing/Everything’. We love their work and we’re so glad that they could be involved.”
“We are a duo; The lovely eggs are a duo. Two add two makes four apparently. That makes sense. We make everything ourselves; they make everything themselves.
But us making a video for a song they made made sense. It’s a beautiful song,” state Wood and Harrison.

Once again, the album was recorded by the band at home in Lancaster with production work from Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann. They flew to America in December 2023 to mix the album in Fridmann’s studio in upstate New York and the results are without doubt the most expansive, mind-melting ten songs the band have delivered yet.
Operating in a world when true authenticity is hard to find, The Lovely Eggs are one of the most exciting, innovative and genuine bands around. Welcome to their world. Welcome to Eggland.
