‘The First Days of Spring’ – A Film By Noah And The Whale
December 11, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Films & MusicI’m really enjoying this new trend in bands creating films around albums, much like Edward Sharpe did, and now you can add Noah And The Whale to that list. Charlie Fin, the lead singer of the band, has created a 45 minute long movie that accompanies and is scored by their newest album, The First Days of Spring.
The film is really incredibly shot, with lots of beautiful locations and wide landscapes. From what I’ve been able to put together the film is about life and death, love and loss. The whole thing was shot in 8 days on a meager budget, but honestly I don’t think you can tell that at all. Hopefully this trend continues and more musicians start to dabble in film.

You should check out the temporary copenhagen (http://temporarycopenhagen.com/) projects by Vincent Moon if you like Slaraffenland (it contains the album movie for their newly released ‘Were on your side’. Hopefully you’ll find a whole bunch of new lovely musicians as well, from the other recording.
Really cool man. I’m absolutely loving this new burst of film stuff coming from bands who in the past would have seen film having nothing to do with their music.
Saw a trailer recently for Angels & Airwaves new movie coming next year. pretty cool. Check it out >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiwIK_CtTIM
