“Being in The Lovely Eggs we’re kind of used to surreal experiences but collaborating with Iggy Pop takes the biscuit,” exclaims singer/guitarist Holly Ross. “It’s actually unbelievable. For him just to say nothing but “moron” over and over again fitted in with the sentiment of the song perfectly. He just GOT it. We are all morons. In a world of moronic things. In a world of moronic ideas. You are moron. I am Moron. We are Moron.”
The single follows on from the band’s Number One Independent Selling Album “I am Moron” released in 2020. ‘I am Moron’ was declared “Album of the Day” by BBC 6 Music and received critical acclaim from the national press:
