During a COVID a record was released on this label as an EP even though it was definitely LP-length and this always rubbed me the wrong. Instead of simply reclassifying it, I'm proud to announce that it has been REISSUED as a deluxe expanded full-length. Quokka Island Quarantine is now Quokka Island Revisited. Furthermore — in addition to five official remixes and two brand new tracks (both of which — "Put the Bad Feelings to Bed" and "Sveta's Reverie" — are radio edit versions off the forthcoming mammoth LP, The Tortured Poets Adult Daycare & Retirement Community – coming 4/20/25!) — a conceptual element has been added to the mix in the form of a fictional radio statio W-TRQZ 88.3 FM Quokka Island Radio. This DJ (a very bad man) purports that the COVID outbreak was actually a gov't hoax and he plays some fitting celebratory music. This is satire that isn't satirizing anything. When I made the original EP I think I wished that I was quarantining somewhere nice and not ugly-ass South New Jersey USA. So — because the records are the playgrounds for my dreams — here I envision a world where COVID never happened at all.
