3rd studio album by the Danish trio PowerSolo who sound more like They Might Be Giants on this than any other band, imho. The album is co-produced by Jesper Reginald (aka Yebo) of Thau and Tremolo Beer Gut.
There's still a huge blend of styles involved (a bit like on many albums by TMBG). PowerSolo is not just a copy-band or a clone of the American indie pop duo, the music is still highly original and full of energy and craziness - I guess with some inspirational source in Monty Python and the original American surf rock bands of the early '60s as well.
I don't find this quite as catchy as the previous album, and the best track here is a harmony-driven and chorus-based song that stands out on an uneven album. There are many uptempo tracks filled with surf rock and psychobilly elements securing a steady beat just without great ideas or memorable chorus-lines, and Egg is, except for the debut album, perhaps the band's least interesting release.
