I’m hoping everyone takes in the story and shapes their own meanings and endings to the EP.”
The word ‘Novella’ means, ‘a written, fictional, prose narrative normally longer than a short story but shorter than a novel’.
‘Novella’ is a concept, set as a play. Each track representing a scene. The play revolves around two separate stories that entwine with each other throughout. The tale follows a man who loses his faith and commits terrible acts, the worst being him killing a man. This sees repurcussions of his actions and the story branches yet further.
As the EP progresses, the stories grow side by side.
The lyrics imposed on the new material contain frontman, Stephen Nulty’s meanings, which relate to personal issues in his life.
‘Novella’ is available on Digital Download and extremely limited edition CD; The EP on CD features a one of a kind hand made cover, individually numbered from 1 – 100.
