Noah and The Whale have made quite a name for themselves on the indie-circuit as of late. ‘Twee’ is a word often used to describe their own specific brand of romantic anti-folk: a description hardly surprising when debut album Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down boasts a ukulele, hand-claps, trembling violin strings, romantic folk tales, whistling, a cowbell and fellow anti-folk artist Laura Marling on backing vocals.
Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down is a collection of simple and uplifting songs about love, death and time. Penned and demoed in dark bedrooms in Twickenham and Manchester this album is anything but dark. Despite tales of awkward and isolated love, the melo
dies are instantly uplifting and reassuring. -Lauren Down
