Something has come to my attention, and that is The Novelists’ album Book One . For reasons I can’t explain, I haven’t previously given The Novelists a chance, so let me be the first and most likely, only person to apologize on my behalf to the aforementioned parties. Your work on this album is nothing short of incredible.
Fans of music with long memories might remember adult-contemporary pop bands like The Beautiful South, Marc Cohn, or Mike + The Mechanics (and many, many more.) These were musicians’ pop bands where the point was to deliver an incredibly clever piece of music with lyrics that really make you pay attention. The production values really matter. The style of music the band plays varies based on whatever song they’re playing. It needs to sound great and have something interesting about it.
This album by this band has that quality.
