The Lovely Eggs have today announced details of their new single "Big Sea".

The latest to be taken from their debut album This Is Eggland, the song will see a physical release on surf blue 7" vinyl on 18th May.

Guitarist and vocalist Holly Ross said: “It's a pretty deep song really, it questions the ridiculousness of human ritualistic behaviour and tries to look at what life is all about."

The group will also be releasing a special edition fried egg-shaped version of their album for Record Store Day this month.

To coincide with the release of "Big Sea", the group will be hitting the roads for a UK tour in May and June. Supported by Mr. Ben and The Bens and poet/comedian Rob Aughton, tickets are selling fast.
