Egghead. Dumb Songs for Smart People LP
This is the first vinyl release of the 1999 compilation put out by Mutant Pop Records on CD. NYC’s EGGHEAD plays simple, lo-fi punk pop songs about unrequited love, bad jobs, and growing up. No doubt this could have been a Lookout! release, as the songs stand up to the oeuvre of the MR. T EXPERIENCE, SQUIRTGUN, and the TEEN IDOLS. What sets this apart is the rough, rushed, underground sound and the feeling that they don’t take themselves too seriously, but are equally adept at crafting two-minute irreverent opuses.
