About

Due in part to front man Charlie Fink’s distinctively abysmal voice, Noah and the Whale characterized themselves as a quirky fixture among the alternative genre for their trademark fusion of folk and electronic elements in 2008, produced by frequent employment of the fiddle, harmonium, harmonica and ukelele. Over the course of the next two albums, 2009's The First Days of Spring and 2011’s Last Night on Earth,changes to the band's lineup, including the exit of singer Laura Marling, resulted in defining shifts to Noah and the Whale's original sound. Their latest album, Heart of Nowhere, premiered May 6, 2013 via Mercury Records.

    This was one of the best concerts that I've been to in a long time. They are truly amazing together. I would highly recommend seeing them live if you can.

    Noah's Whale is bigger than life!

    by Lovethewhale on 11/5/09Mercury Lounge - New York

    Watch out, Noah and the Whale is on the rise. From the very first note, of the very first song, Give a Little Love, I knew that this band was everything I'd hoped they'd be and more. The way they can move from a melancholy serenade and transition seamlessly into a crescendoing, high-energy, all out rock explosion, will make your jaw drop open in amazement. Every person in the band is a vital component, each sharing the soul and heart of the band's music, equally. At times, the rhythm of the drums were like an entire percussion section of an orchestra, then there's Tom's fiddle which he plays w/ such passion that the strings on his bow are snapping, then there's Whale, the bassist who looks like he's in another world, rocking out every moment he's on stage, lost in an ecstasy of music, then there's our lonely hearted Charlie, who sings every line like he's reliving the experience of lyrics all over again. Not to forget the amazing, vocal harmonies and instrumental synergy these band members have when they are on stage together...you want them to play all night because their music is like food, it feeds you, it gives you energy and life. You walk out of the show feeling uplifted. And, they're cute and British, could you ask for anything more? Bottom line, these guys are the real deal...British invasion, you say? I think so.

    Noah and the Whale are one of those bands that sound even better live than they do on their records.

    Best Live Performance I've Seen in a While

    by JeffAndTheWhale on 10/21/09Roxy Theatre - Hollywood

    Nothing bothers me more than going to a show to watch a band suddenly rely on autotune, or worse, lip sync with a recording. It bothers me almost as much when a band takes too much artistic liberty and ruins their own music by playing unrecognizable 'live versions' of each song. Noah and the Whale found a very happy medium. Lead vocalist has apparent talent, both with the vocals and on guitar, and each of the other band members is awesome with their respective instruments. I recorded each song as it was played with my phone, and the only thing I wish I could change about what was recorded was the group of annoying drunk girls behind me who talked through the whole show. Hahaha.
