Noah & The Whale will celebrate a successful year by ending ’08 with a huge tour of the UK, which will be followed by a tour of the USA.

The band’s debut ‘Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down’ recently entered the UK charts in the top five, as well as the Laura Marling-featuring single ‘Five Year’s Time’ booming from what seems like every festival campsite stereo and radio in the UK, a sleeper hit that is still bounding around the top 20 charts like Donny Tourette in the Metbar.

Their upcoming UK tour will also see the band releasing a second single, ‘Shape Of My Heart’ on October 20th.
