.. Lays Me Down |
| | Description: | Noah & The Whale were one of the leading protagonists of the small but perfectly formed indie-folk scene of the early days of the 21st Century Formed in Twickenham, the five-piece, led by vocalist and guitarist Charlie Fink, originally boasted Laura Marling in their line- up, before she left to begin her
successful solo career.
Released in August 2008, Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down was like a breath of fresh air with its optimistic- yet- realistic worldview and, as The Guardia was to note, its "twinkling acoustic songs, bursting with brass, keyboards and fiddle" were "economic and brimming with sure-footed confidence." Its 11 songs include the group's debut single and signature track, 5 Years Time, which was to become their first UK Top 10 hit.
This re-issue is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl. - .. LAYS ME DOWN2008 debut album from Noah and the Whale, who are adept at making earnest, poetic music. Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down is a collection of songs that muse on the connections between love, death and time. Though '5 Years Time' is the perfect invitation into their world, it is merely a piece of their puzzle. The songs move effortlessly from the epic grandeur of Arcade Fire to the intimate melancholy of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy but all with a very clear sense of Englishness. 11 tracks.
