Change of state

"It is a record that crafts rare groove basslines, energetic percussion, soothing keys and low fi distortion, into palatable, philosophical protest pop ... You don't usually get such deep revolutionary topics coming at you in this way. Novella's new album is a fresh approach to intellectual indie and makes for a welcome 'Change of State'".

"Following up a successful debut album is a tricky proposition filled with many possible pitfalls. One way for artists to avoid falling on their faces is to stick with what made their debut albums good, then give things a slight tweak. Novella do a fine job of following this blueprint for success on their second album, Change of State ... The songs, sound, and performances all combine into something that doesn't exactly improve on what they did on Land, but the album is just as compelling".
