A Monday night at the Royal Albert Hall is a great
alternative to any Monday night.
Watching Noah and the Whale perform at THE historic hall was quite touching
as well: I discovered them three years ago in Berlin while doing the opening of
the Phoenix tour and Charlie’s voice has been unforgettable since.
They have grown up, Charlie’s brother has left the band and
their looks ensured they would come out as the “Noah and the Whale” accomplished
generation: from tie dye jeans to tailored suits, waistcoats and red socks. Charlie’s
baby face is also gone to reveal sharper cheek bones; his confidence is the one
of a proper lead singer and his voice? The voice of a winning talent. The young
band from Twickenham found a true niche for themselves: an inspiration from Tom
Waits, Lou Reed, Chris Rea that perfectly ties together an indie rock and folk
style. Definitely a band inspired by different form of arts and we know it
because of the drawings projected at the back of the stage as a surrealist
movie during the gig. These guys are a new generation success and I can’t wait for the next album:
well done to NATW!
