New album: The Eggmen Whoooooo! || Fuzzy Eggs, Please

Whoooooo!

There are a few things you should know about The Eggmen Whoooooo!. They are a kind of supergroup from Wales, with members from outfits like El Goodo, Los Blancos and Trecco Beis. You pronounce the ‘Whoooooo” part of the band name the way over-enthusiastic presenters do in their on stage announcements. And the sound of Benedict Frye (vocals, guitar), Thom Lett (guitar, backing vocals), Gwyn Ŵy (guitar), Shelldon Advocaat (bass, synthesizer, backing vocals), Sue Flay (keyboards, percussion) and Gregg Boyle (drums) is a mix of genre-crossing 60s-inspired garage psych, noisy indie rock, spaghetti western music and infectious surf pop. That’s promising, right?

The ten lo-fi songs on their debut full-length album, wittily titled Fuzzy Eggs, Please, radiate an energy and spontaneity that suggests they were recorded live. Occasionally the pace is slowed down to catch our breath (most notable in the 7 melancholic minutes of The Old Man Knows Best), but most of the time we can dance (with It’s Just Your Mind, Rwy’n Dy Garu Di and So Long (Bye Bye Baby) standing out). Above all, this record is as catchy as can be, full of hooks and of course with a lot of ‘Whoooooo!’s and similar primal screams—fun to the max.



Fuzzy Eggs, Please, produced by Thighpaulsandra, is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP, through Strangetown Records.
