Novelty Island is the psych pop solo project of Liverpool-based musician Tom McConnell. McConnell debuted in 2021 with his first LP, How Are You Coping With This Century, and followed this year with his sophomore record, Wallsend Weekend Television. Early next year, he’s following with a new eight-track EP, Taped Over, envisioned as a single suite of music inspired by medleys from classic records like Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love or The Beatles’ Abbey Road.

Early next month, Tel-Aviv-based singer/songwriter and producer iogi is set to return with his forthcoming album, we can be friends. The record follows up on the playful blend of psych pop, dream pop, and indie rock iogi carved out with his 2018 debut, the ceiling, and his 2021 follow-up, everything’s worth it. His upcoming record occupies a similarly warm and dreamy space, full of lush sonics and a gentle, early-morning beauty.
