Please Let Me Come Mooch Around Your House is fine, but not the most outstanding track of the album, being a little monotonous after a few listens. I Just Want Someone To Fall In Love With is oddly astute in its simplicity, as Ross states “I just want someone to fall in love with…Thousands of people feel just like me” And we agree that yes, indeed, we do feel just like her. The track itself is a clear stand out of the album, with the melodic hook straying just enough from formula to remain interesting and yet simple enough to offer the distinctively unrefined catchiness of a playground melody.ĭon’t Patent That Shoe and The Undertone blend into one song on first listen, and are just a solid not-quite-two-minutes of shouty fun. This sparse instrumentation and production continue through the entirety of the album, paying a kind homage to mid-nineties girl rock. Opener and lead single Allergies sets the tone perfectly, with the combination of Ross’ sweet northern nursery rhyme voice on a backdrop of power chords and frantic drums reminiscent of a slightly sillier Kenickie. At no point do Holly Ross’ lightly humorous lyrics ever feel like forced comedy, instead highlighting the humour in the mundane.
As a whole, Wildlife is very, very silly, but in a highly relatable and enjoyable way. The Lancaster duo once more punch the world of music directly in the nuts with an album that is a triumph in balancing between realism and farce. The Lovely Eggs return with their third studio album, Wildlife, after a year and a half of touring since Cob Dominos.
