Their debut album may only have been released in August, but already Noah And The Whale are looking towards the next one. And it sounds like it'll be quite an ambitious effort.
Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, drummer Doug Fink said: "The way it'll work is it's going to be one long music video. The album will be effectively the one song and the video will accompany that ... there's a loose storyline. It's going to be more impressionistic than clear. There will be narrative. It's about seasons and it's about time. Best to wait and see how it turns out - it's not crystallised yet. Concept album is a word we try and shy away from but [frontman and main songwriter Charlie Fink] has thought about it as one piece and that's how we're trying to approach it".
He also revealed that the band's punk side project, The A Sides are planning to release a mini-album in aid of Age Concern. He said: "It's seven tracks. We had some spare studio time and we recorded an album over two nights with a one-take rule. All the money we make from that, and there's going to be a gig as well, will go to Age Concern. That's happening over Christmas so we'll see a lot of each other".
