Noah and the Whale - The First Days of Spring (2009)

Noah and the Whale are best known for their (s)hit single "5 years time" from their debut album. Knowing this song alone, I intended to go and watch and mock their performance at this year's Reading Festival. When I got there this was a totally different story. I was there alone, and it was amazing. They aren't the band I thought they were at all. They played a very mellow set, and completely excluded their poppy single(s).

When I got back from the festival I went out and purchased their brand new album (this one). I got home and listened to it, and it's an absolutely beatiful album. It's really mellow and fantastic to relax to. Elliott is the only other person who's listened to it and he loves it also. So consider this a double recommendation.

To this day I've still never heard the album that spawned "5 years Time" and I don't intend to. I'm perfectly content. Enjoy, I'm now going to review Biffy Clyro as no one else did last week :(
