Novelty Island

Novelty Island invites you into the surreal pop world of Tom McConnell. In 2020, a series of warped, psychedelic singles formed into the “Welcome To Novelty Island…” EP, recorded at Abbey Road Institute and supported by BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, Late Night Tales and more. 

Tom’s music is inspired by classic power pop and woozy electronica and paired with his Dada-style artwork, creates a surreal escape from the noise. As everyone’s summer plans are altered, Novelty Island will take you on holiday with the “Suddenly On Sea” EP which is released in August 2020 on Abbey House Records.

Novelty Island’s live incarnation includes Tom’s other-half Frankie Tibbles on keys, David Dargahi on guitar and Harry Carter on drums.
