New Whale tunes/videos
Noah and the Whale have finished their Club Silencio tour and will soon be coming back to the States to fill our ears and hearts with beautiful folk-influcenced goodness. In the meantime, you can enjoy a recent session with Maps the band recorded before a gig in Italy, which includes a three-part interview and performances of ‘Mary’ and ‘My Door is Always Open’ (new song!).
You can find the video for their performance of ‘Mary’ right here.
Listen to the interview and download their performances FOR FREE right over here.
The interview is in English and Italian, with the boys talking about their name, good movies they’ve seen recently (some very good choices, imo), finishing the new album and making a film to accompany the new songs, as well as talking about being on the soundtrack for a new film premiering at the Cannes Film Festival this year. It’s a ten minute interview, definitely listen if you’ve got the chance!
FLYP Media – Noah and the Whale feature
Crazy, super hi-tech interactive media is slowly, but surely taking over the world! Exhibit A: FLYP, an online magazine claiming to combine “video, text, animation, high-quality design and interactivity in a new kind of storytelling that blends the best from the world of print with the latest from the Web”. Sounds good to me.
The latest issue features an article on Noah and the Whale, which can be read online here (Flash required!) for absolutely free. Who doesn’t love free stuff? It’s a short read, but jam packed with exclusive videos and photos from the bands’ first US tour back in September 2008.
Noah and the Whale have just finished recording their second album and are set to begin their Club Silencio Tour in March, just after a one-off show at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg on February 21. The boys have even set up a small competition inviting fans to submit their very own short films, the best of which will be featured on tour!
