- The band consists of Charlie Fink (vocals, guitar), Doug Fink (drums 2006-2009), Tom Hobden (fiddle), Urby Whale (bass), and Fred Abbott (guitar/keys 2009- ) and after a few singles, released their debut album, Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down in August 2008. Emmy The Great sang for short periods with the band and the brass accompaniment on the CD is provided by Jon Carvell (trombone) and Sam Kinrade (trumpet). Lillie Flynn (sister of singer Johnny Flynn) and Rebecca from Slow Club have also filled the role of female vocalist during tours. Until mid-2008, Laura Marling was a member of the band and performed with the band as her schedule from her solo touring allowed and performed the background vocals on the band's debut album. Marling left the band shortly after ending her romantic relationship with Charlie Fink several months after the release of Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down.
They have been compared to Neutral Milk Hotel, Bonnie Prince Billy and Belle & Sebastian, and the band cite both punk rock and folk as influences.
Their name is a marriage of the title of one of the band's favourite films, The Squid and the Whale, and the director of said film's name (Noah Baumbach). They are also avid fans of the film director Wes Anderson, who helped produce The Squid and the Whale alongside Baumbach; the group's e-mails, and many of their MySpace blog posts, are signed "Sic Transit Gloria", a phrase frequently used in Anderson's film Rushmore.
The band performed on Jeremy Warmsleys internet television show, Welcome to our TV show, and have made several appearances at festivals including Leeds, Cambridge Folk Festival, Latitude, SXSW, V Festival and Glastonbury. They also plan on playing a mini US tour, most likely around their Lollapalooza performance, though the dates have not been officially announced. They are currently scheduled to play Coachella 2009 on the Friday date.
In May 2008, the group's side-project, The A Sides, performed a one-off show at The Push Club.
The band's debut album, Peaceful, the World Lays me Down, was released on 11 August 2008 The release got to Number 5 on the Official UK Album Chart and has received a mainly positive critical response.
From January 2009 onwards, the band started work on their second full length LP, entitled The First Days of Spring. Along with the album release, Charlie Fink made a film that runs the entire length of the album, also entitled The First Days of Spring. The band decided not to feature female backup vocals on their second LP. The album was released on 31 August 2009, a little over a year after their debut.
"The First Days of Spring" is the first single release from the album of the same name and is available for download from the band's website. A second single entitled "Blue Skies" was released in the summer of 2009,after the song got its first airplay on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show on 22 June 2009.
The band played the 2009 Reading and Leeds Festivals on the main stage, as well as a variety of other venues on their current tour.
On 28 August 2009, Doug Fink, brother of lead singer Charlie Fink, announced he would be leaving the band to pursue a career in medicine. The announcement was made days before the imminent release of their second album The First Days of Spring. At the same time, a new member Fred Abbott was brought in on second guitar/piano and Doug was temporarily replaced by former Pull Tiger Tail drummer Jack Hamson.
On 30 September 2009, BBC News reported that the band's equipment including guitars, bass instruments and their drum kit, were stolen from a car park near the Club Academy in Manchester, England. The theft occurred on the night of 29 September 2009. The equipment was recovered in late December 2009.
Their song, "Give a Little Love" was used in an episode of Cougar Town titled "Here Comes My Girl" which first aired on November 25, 2009. Another of their songs, "Blue Skies", was used in an episode of One Tree Hill titled "Some Roads Lead Nowhere" which first aired on December 7, 2009.
In January 2010, it was announced that Noah and the Whale was to be heading to the recording studio soon to prepare their third album, for which the band is considering the title Old Joy.
I swear i couldn't find this video for a while and so suprise it's here waiting for me like a hidden gemstone after all these years :D
This is one of, if not the most beautiful, and perfect song ive ever heard. The fact that It's Long and drawn out makes it that much more sincere and pure, it shows the beauty of sadness... Perfect
It's songs like these that make me remember why I didn't end my life. Like someone said, listening to this followed by Blue Skies is just so...uplifting. And hopeful. :]
I love how they have parts of Blue Skies in the end. It just is so beautiful
Noah and the Whale... Don't even realize how powerful it is, and then suddenly I'm crying, dancing, or both.
I stopped paying attention when he started singing because I was lost in thought but the ending I started paying attention again and he sang the line from blue skies and it really fucked me up that this is the prequel to blue skies and that song means the world to me.
miserable together. trust me on this one.. to be miserable and alone is one if the worst fkn things ever. to want that certain person beside you. but that person doenst even want to think of you cuz it hurts him/her also as much as you. so the only thing you do is close your eyes and start living in a illusory world cause it kinda calmes you down. and in this world you see your definition of perfection. i personally see myself with her by my side and we're both smiling. smiling forbeingtogether
This song is honest, sad and beautiful all at the same time. Love it!
Listen to this song first, then Blue Skies. SO. GOOD.
9 months has passed since I posted that comment.....I still listen to it everyday.
do you just listen to it on youtube? beacuse i can't find it anywhere.
ITS BEEN A WHILE, SINCE I STARRED AT THOSE STARS!!
I'm so sad that i coulnd't find this song on spotifify or hardly anywhere after hearing this in heartstopper
i can relate to this whole album. it shakes me to my core
Well, this song must be one of the most depressing songs I have actually ever experienced. Very honest and pure but not for the emotionally distressed. It 'could' actually give someone the final 'push' to the afterlife... as it almost did with someone very close to me.........................
this is an incredible album.
one of my favourite songs.
the video has been done very tastefully.
Listening to the songs this wasn't my favorite, but watching the music video... This song is now my favorite.
cant help but to listen to this song over and over.. this video.... is so similar to life... in such a sad way.... :'/
Perfect album.
En ese entonces se veía HD para mí, y resulta que es en 480p, hace doce años y mi like sigue ahí.
Such a great video! The final scenes are so powerful..
It's amazing how much this song relates to the night where me and my ex broke up over a month ago. And the other amazing fact is that I had not heard this song until earlier this week, meanwhile the whole CD has been on my iPod for I don't know how long. The world is so weird sometimes...
cant help but to listen to this song over and over.. this video.... is so similar to my life... in such a sad way.... :'/

the very beginning of the video made me cry...
Thanks, I'll check it out!
"Spring can be the cruelest of months..." That's a T.S. Eliot reference, isn't it?
@MrJkca This video is part of a short movie and it shows a man young and in love with a girl and then she dies and it goes on to show his endless love for her. So in this video he does not drown but he does drown as an old man
Wow to this song! I've also noticed that we have the same plant at 2:21, looks just like that.
these are such powerful and uninterpretable lyrics... i love it though. so sad...
This song kills me.
Goddamn you Chuck Fink. That man has pure poetry running through his bowels. Craps better lines than I could ever come up with.
@AtOddsBand I think all the songs from "The First Days of Spring" is in the film, but I have never seen the movie, but I very much wish to!

It's uncanny how this album is re-telling how I felt when me and my girlfriend broke up.

Does the beginning remind anyone else of Shrek, when he's eating at the table?
... The feeling, when you read "when he's eating a table"
@chuppa229 Nice answer, thank you
@Sharpoon Hey at least you got the reference.
I watch this to much
@laster5098 he doesnt know what he wants any more.... hes lost and is confused how he got where he is.... he forgot the little things in life.... cause the big things are all that he is now.... thats my interpretation.... i understood this song in a... deep part of myself....
@DudeWheresMyDinosaur Looks like now its been a year.
Can someone explain the dilute drink part?
@fwuffleclouds15 I know after I watched it I bought the dvd it's defiantly worth it :)

@SHORTBUSJANITR i believe it has to do with him and Lauara Marling spliting up.. shes now with Marcus Mumford
