Mark G On my return to the underground, Novelty Island came to my attention quickly.
It's all you could want for in an alt pop environment, with layers of richly arranged instrumentation making their mark cleverly thoughout and witty lyricism woven into its very core.
It's different, it's great. Favorite track: Michael Afternoon.

He’s a somewhere person rewinding He lives upstairs away from the fresh air In the set of a sitcom Michael Afternoon at half past 3 Nervous breakdown then daytime TV During his youth he made the local news When half his family perished in a sarcastic disaster out at sea Half a bag of sugar’s what he needs And then he’s overwhelmed with all these thoughts that he’s got a disease Spends most the time just powered by his sleep Michael walks through rainclouds happily Accepts their inevitability Needs your spare change, thought he’d already paid Now his pocket’s full of jam, needs to buy a ticket to jump off the ferry Half a bag of sugar’s what he needs He’s hanging upside down over a viaduct of memories He’s on the precipice of a stormy life he thought he’d never see He kind of knows it now that nothing will turn out just like he needs And he can’t understand and turned his back on all reality He feels it right deep down That this wasn’t his life was meant to be
