Hey kids - it’s more good stuff from Noah and the Whale — the magical band hailing from London, who find inspiration in the films of Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach and sound a little like Neutral Milk Hotel, The Kinks and Belle and Sebastian.

Their new album, ‘Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down’ is set for US release September 16th, 2008 and they’re going on tour in the US! Check out the dates below - and you can also watch the video for their new single:
