Noah And The Whale - 5 Years Time/ I Have Nothing

Noah and The Whale will release their much-anticipated debut album, Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down, this August (11th). The band, currently touring the UK, will precede the album with a single that is set to be one of the songs of the summer, 5 Years Time.

Described in The Sunday Times as “a global hit in the making”, 5 Years Time is a glorious love song that blends the simple narrative and direct lo-fi charm of anti-folk artists such as Jeffrey Lewis or Jonathan Richman with the classic pop of Buddy Holly. Released on Young & Lost Club / Vertigo on Aug 4th

Noah and The Whale make earnest, poetic music. Their debut album, Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down, is a collection of songs that muse on the connections between love, death and time. Though 5 Years Time is the perfect invitation into their world it is merely a piece of their puzzle. The songs move effortlessly from the epic grandeur of Arcade Fire to the intimate melancholy of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy but all with a very clear sense of Englishness.
