New Entry: Novella Premiere New Single "Thun"

London-based dream pop band Novella have premiered their brand new single "Thun".

The song is taken from their forthcoming sophomore album 'Change of State', set to arrive on February 17 via Sinderlyn Records. Pre-order your copy here

About the track, the band told thebeatjuice: "‘Thun’ is the name of a place in Switzerland we visited on tour last year. It is incredibly beautiful but the journey there was the most terrifying experience we had on the trip, driving through snow, having to turn around and drive back on ourselves, driving on narrow roads on cliff edges, and ultimately having to cancel the show. The song tries to capture how we felt on this journey and actually emerged from a pretty natural 9 minute jam we recorded on our phone that we decide to come back to when we were finishing the album. The theme of the song explores the nature of borders and freedom of movement; the randomness of who this applies to and to whom it doesn’t."

Novella Announce New Album 'Change of State', Air Title Track

London-based dream pop band Novella have announced they will be releasing their new album titled 'Change of State' in February 17 via Sinderlyn Records.

The follow-up to last year's debut album 'Land' was recorded over the period of a few months in the Victorian bedroom studio of James Hoare (Ultimate Painting, Veronica Falls) on an old 1960’s 8-track, this set up forced Novella to utilize an economy of sound on Change of State.

Over the course of ten tracks, Novella take the time and space necessary to let the physical and ideological implications behind a changing state run rampant through themes that linger as much in topical discussion as they do in perennial reflections of human experience.

They discovered that there’s beauty in simplicity and restriction as nothing could be gratuitously added or subtracted with the click of a mouse. It lent, what the band call a little Joe Meek magic to the process, and what could have been an added pressure instead gave way to instinct: “The best songs we wrote were written towards the end of the sessions, when we had too little time to think too much about them”.
