Noah and the Whale – The First Days Of Spring
Fri, Mar 12, 2010
I thought this album would be fitting considering spring is in just over a week! Noah and the Whale is an alternative/folk group formed in Twickenham, London, England in 2006. They consist of Charlie fink (vocals, guitar), Tom Hobden (fiddle), Matt Urby (bass), Doug Fink (drums) and, on their debut album, Laura Marling (vocals, guitar). They released their debut album Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down – which contains the UK Top 10 hit 5 Years Time – in August of 2008. A year later, following the relationship between Charlie Fink and Laura Marling ending, the band released The First Days Of Spring, a concept album written about Laura.

WOW. Love your site. Makes my blog look like amateur work. Okay … it *is* amateur work, but still.
I love how you include a playlist of your reviewed CD from grooveshark. Didn’t know that was possible! I might “incorporate” your idea.
