THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

Novelty Island’s Wallsend Weekend Television—Tom McConnell’s second act—tunes pop to a Liverpool wavelength with a twist. Started recording in 2018 at Abbey Road Institute, honed at Damon Albarn’s Studio 13 and Abbey Road’s iconic 2 and 3, it’s 11 tracks distilled from 80—like a primetime lineup with a Scouse grin. Classic hooks, slick synths, and northern wit glow in vivid color, outshining its debut with a bolder, cinematic sweep. Each song’s a channel flip through McConnell’s knack for ear candy—polished, punchy, and ready for your playlist’s main stage. Switch it on!
