The Egg

Formed in Oxford, England in 1994 around brothers Matt and Ned Scott, the Egg blended electronics with a performance focus while absorbing influences from jazz-funk, prog rock, drum'n'bass, and Madchester. A pair of singles appeared on Cup of Tea before the band aligned with Indochina to issue its debut album, Albumen, in 1996. Steady single output marked the path to Travelator, the 1998 release produced by Death in Vegas’ Tim Holmes. Although Forward, the third album, did not arrive until 2005, the members sustained momentum through multiple singles and EPs, side projects including Stuff and the Oricalc Phase, and performances.
