Noah and the Whale emerged on the scene with their first album, Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down last year and quickly grew a loyal following.

Strong drums, acoustic guitars and a slew of unlikely instruments come together for delicious nu-folk harmonies. Combined with the movie (directed by lead singer Charlie Fink), their second release is truly a complete work.

David Yow just missed being with his friend. The front-man for ’90s college radio darlings The Jesus Lizard makes it clear he had no burning desire to play the old tracks he and the rest of the band penned back in the days before the Internet. There was no internal call to get back on stage in front of the aging masses looking to reclaim a piece of their ever-wilting youth. Hell, he didn’t even really need the money. Continue…
The Bowerbirds’ new album, Upper Air is filled with additively sweet melodies written on the road.
