Peaceful, the world lays me down


Noah and the Whale sound like they’re having a whale of a time in the studio on their track “Five Years Time,” a teaser for their full-length debut album (titled Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down) due out September 16th. The band’s name is an homage to Noah Baumbach and his film The Squid and the Whale, and their sound is an amalgam of Belle & Sebastian twee pop and classic folk-pop.

It’s a classic summer track in my opinion: stylish melody, twinkling instrumentation, a bit of love and longing in the lyrics, and a memorable chorus that stays with you long after the sun goes down. They’ve toured extensively and appeared on the Lollapalooza stage this weekend, so be sure to check them out if you’re planning on heading out to Chicago’s Grant Park for the show.
