Noah And The Whale

Noah and the Whale became a leading light in the British folk scene with the release of 2008's Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down, a popular debut album that cracked the U.K. Top Ten and spawned the hit single "5 Years Time." Formed in the southern suburbs of London, the band also attracted attention by serving as a launching pad for Laura Marling, who left the lineup to 2008 to launch her award-winning solo career. Noah and the Whale forged ahead in her absence, releasing albums that moved away from the band's folky bedrock while still maintaining a good amount of chart success.

Originally comprised of Charlie Fink (vocals, guitar, harmonica, ukulele), Tom Hobden (fiddle), Matt "Urby Whale" Owens (harmonium, bass), Laura Marling (backing vocals), and Doug Fink (drums), the group began taking shape in 2006 in Twickenham. By early 2008, the bandmates had released several independent singles (including an early version of "5 Years Time") and attracted attention from Vertigo Records, who signed Noah and the Whale several months later. The band made its major-label debut that September with the summery, pastoral Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down. Released several weeks later in the United States, the album featured a re-recorded version of "5 Years Time," which peaked at number seven on the U.K. charts and helped expand the band's following at home and abroad. Marling exited the group several months after the album's release, though, and her relationship with Charlie Fink ended shortly thereafter. Both events inspired the group's second album, The First Days of Spring, which dealt heavily with Fink's breakup and gathered praise for its cinematic arrangements. Last Night on Earth followed in 2011, signaling a move beyond the folk-rock sound of the band's early material. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Too cute.
Time to add the Crash Test Dummies to similar list. They to seek God in the most obvious of places. When by the sea of life in Portland, Maine today, your dear friends, Mum & Crash & I will seek answers to a universal truth. What happens to a whale f*rt when the big bang arises from the sea? Was it really the beginning of you and me; or, just krill on their way to the surface, their little souls born again in the warm sunshine of whale f*rt heaven? Let us sing our songs of freedom! Go God

5 Years Time reminds me of Beach Boys
whales are often named noah
Noah and the Whale came before Mumford and Sons and arguably paved the way for that band. Charlie Fink is my hero because he speaks honestly about the deep s**t that goes on not only within himself, but also out in the world. The First Days of Spring is an album of personal grief, while Last Night on Earth is an album of victorious communion--i t tells the stories of joe-shmoe men and women who struggle but eventually champion the challenges and changes in their life. As Charlie states in several

What, if Jonathan Richman had anything to do with this group, the bio would mention it. Richman's band is The Modern Lovers.

Also, London is a British city, yes.
awesomesweep e r
are they british? they do sound a bit like Something About Mary
to Ryan McConnell

Are you talking about Jonathan Richman... he sings the theme song.. he's a really cool artist.
they sound similar to that two man band in Something About Mary
