5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous folk/pop. 3 Jun 2011
Format:Audio CD
I heard Said the Whale this year as part of Canadian Blast which toured the UK promoting Canadian artists - I went to see another band, but Said the Whale just blew me away. They are just awesome - I love this album more than I can say! If you like Fleet Foxes, Mumford, Beirut, then give this a listen - they play very gorgeous happy folk/pop, and they are very much themselves and original in their sound, they seem to know where they want to go with their music and aren't influenced overtly, which makes me think it's only a matter of time before they break big, like Arcade Fire and Fleet Foxes, who also did their own thing. Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft are the song writers and lead singers, great lyricists, great tunes! If I had to pick, stand-out tracks for me are False Creek Change, A Cold Night Close to the End, B. C. Orienteering, Emerald lake, AB. There is also an earlier album, Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia that for a first album is stunningly assured and one of my favourite tracks of their's is on it, The Light Is You, one of the sweetest and shortest love songs you'll ever hear! (watch the great video on YouTube).

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Amazing Group! 7 Mar 2011

I'd never heard of this band before, but discovered them online. Their music is fantastic and fun, and I don't know why they aren't more famous. I have both of their albums, and their music is catchy and similar to the Decemberists, though happier. I wish them great fame and fortune, they deserve it.

Like the previous two reviewers, I happened to stumble across this band. I first heard their song Camilo and decided to take a chance and buy the album straight out. It was an excellent purchase. Their music has a great feel and is topically quite Canadian. Absolutely love this album.

I agree with the first person who reviewed them. I also accidentally came across them...catchy melodies, nice vocals, a beautiful album in general. Awaiting their new release in March! Definitely worth buying.
