Com apenas uma pequena mudança nas letras, a adição de violinos e guitarras e a troca da voz aguda de Robyn pelos vocais solenes de Charlie Fink , algo improvável aconteceu: o sucesso de synth-pop Call Your Girlfriend foi transformado pelo Noah and the whale em uma faixa que poderia se encaixar perfeitamente no último álbum da banda, Last Night on Earth . Mantendo a energia da original mas diminuindo o seu potencial dançante, o Noah and the whale apresentou esse belo cover em uma sessão para o [...]
![[Listen] Noah And The Whale – "Call Your Girlfriend" (Robyn Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3641899_lg.jpg)
Earlier in the week Noah And The Whale were the band who stepped into BBC's Live Lounge and put in a few performances on Fearne Cotton's show. They chose to cover the Swedish songstress Robyn and her recent single "Call Your Girlfriend". They mix it up little and slow it down as well as changing the lyrics to "call your boyfriend". Check it out below via CoverMeSongs and let us know which you prefer. I think I'm swinging towards the original in all honesty but hey, you guys may think otherwise. [...]
Noah and the Whale in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge - 10/08/11 After a few weeks off, due mainly to Elliot being on holiday and me working 9-5 and generally being a bit knackered and busy, I've finally mustered up the motivation to write a little blog post before I head off gallivanting at Beacons festival in Skipton this weekend. Once again, it's another Noah and the Whale love-in on Quiff Pro 'Fro - wahey! As regular readers will know, I bloody love this band. They're the most underrated, misunderstood British [...]
Benjamin Francis Leftwich från York släppte sin debut Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm i början av juli, och har turnerat med Noah and the Whale på sistone. Under den perioden i maj spelade han in en liten film , kanske med inspiration från Charlie Fink, från just Noah and the Whale som gjort något liknande ( trailer ). Men, det är inte vad som är intressant här. Utan denna briljanta remix på låten Atlas Hands av ingen mindre än Mike Skinner. Lyssna även på originalet .

Check out Noah and the Whale's version of Robyn's hit 'Call Your Girlfriend.'
Sebastian Dehesdin I'm sure it's a generational thing, but back in my day when someone said "shoegazing", it meant guitars. Fender guitars, if we're being particular - Jazzmasters, Jaguars, Mustangs and their offset-bodied ilk, run through as many fuzzing, phasing and flanging pedals as people could string together and turned up loud. That was how you built a wall of noise. At least that's how you did it in the '90s. These days, it seems that while the guit-based approach hasn't fallen out of favour, the more ambitious and original dreampop sounds and textures [...]
Lollapalooza celebrated its twentieth anniversary in Chicago over the weekend with headline performances by Eminem, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and Muse. It was the support acts, however, that really excited us. So like he did at Bonnaroo , our tireless photog/artist wrangler Graeme Flegenheimer (with help from The Impossible Project ) distributed Polaroid cameras and film to 23 bands - 24 if you count Eminem, who dropped out at the last minute (I forgive him) - to capture exclusive behind-the-scenes moments. The snaps reveal how our favorite bands passed the hours in Grant Park, from shotgunning beers [...]
This weeks marks two momentous milestones. Firstly, the world's largest arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe, gets into full swing with it's first full week of events. Probably more earth shattering though is we at Muso's Guide welcome our new Singles Editor, Paul Brown (and wave adieu to departing Editor Russell Warfield). I'd imagine most of you don't care about either, so without further ado it's onto this weeks singles. Death Cab For Cutie Codes and Keys First this week is the title track from [...]
After reviewing Scoundrels a couple of months ago we caught up with Ned for a quick Q&A covering Tae Kwondo practices, Dr Dre covers and a unnatural dislike for Noah and the Whale. Cougar Microbes: What time did you wake up today? Was it out of choice or necessity? Scoundrels: Woke up at 5 am, went for a 10 mile [...]
We resume our reposts of the Blogophilia series this week with volumes 8 and 8.5. Why 8 and 8.5? Well, I mixed these at the same time, and the tracks came from the same collection of songs I reviewed. Calling one 8 and the other 9 didn't feel right. We've also had a 12.5, and recently a 26.5 for the same reason. Like volume 7, these two mixes really capture the summer spirit. Volume 8.5 has a throw in from an "oldie but goodie." Enjoy... Blogophilia Volume 8 [...]
Dopo l'uscita del loro terzo album ' Last Night on Earth ' del quale abbiamo avuto un assaggio con il singolo L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N, i Noah and the Whalesaranno in tour in Italia a Settembre. Il loro nuovo lavoro conferma la continua crescita di questa band: dall'esplosivo e gioioso debutto con 'Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down', al più malinconico 'The First Days of Spring', ora è la volta di ' Last Night on Earth ', in uscita per Cooperative Music. ( In alto il video del nuovo singolo Life is life ) Continua a leggere Noah and [...]
Sometimes, it's frustrating sifting through piles of musical shit on Soundcloud for properly mastered remixes; most of the time (all of the time), I wish there was a law prohibiting anyone from adding Avicci-esque beats to a song; but every day , I wish that bros didn't have access to Fruity Loops. Luckily, I was cut out for dirty jobs and found this gem. Yuksek remixed Noah and the Whale's Life is Life which was originally a melodramatic anthem (still awesome) and provided a deft hand in creating a dance-hall number that doesn't destroy the underlying structure that Noah [...]

Noah and the Whale 's track 'Life is Life' has been remixed by French club / electronica producer Yuksek. That sounds wrong on so many levels. Oddly, he's turned it almost disco and it sounds great...? Listen to it and download it below.
August 6th will be a night of debauchery; the legendary de Janeiro duo the Twelves will be rocking the floor for the grand opening of the Hoxton right here in Toronto accompanied by the ever so lovely ladies labelled only as Kissette .

So as always enjoy the drift below and a [...]
Noah and the Whale are a four-piece band from London who are signed to Mercury Records and currently touring The UK. I love the Yuksek remix of their single 'Life is Life' which is totally different from the original version (see video below) Feel free to download the remix here
Clad in suits, the five notably suave looking members of Noah and the Whale strode onto the huge stage at The Roundhouse, oozing with confidence
