Noah and the Whale
Noah and the Whale are at the forefront of the folk revival and are making even the largest shows seem intimate.
Overview
The definition of twee is 'excessively or affectedly quaint, pretty, or sentimental'. Drawing their name from an independent drama film, Squid and the Whale, and its director, Noah Baumbach, if judged on name alone Noah and the Whale might come off as shallow.
Fortunately any thought of this is assuaged when the first notes of their songs are played. Honest lyrics backed up with down-home melodies makes their songs as comfortable on first listen as an old shirt. Led by Laura Marling (who was in Noah and the Whale before breaking up with the lead singer) and Mumford & Sons, a resurgence in the fashionability of folk means that a new generation is experiencing the warm wash of this classic genre but with added relevance.
Noah and the Whale are up to their third album and are showing no signs of slowing down, with their live shows improving with practice - proving that the right music can make the largest venue seem intimate.
