Said The WhaleHowe Sounds/Taking Abalonia
Upper Management [2008]
Fire Drills Review:
This Vancouver five-piece play a very dramatic indie pop that is instantly appealing to the ear. The group has been gaining popularity through their created videos on YouTube and this album re-releases the bands 2007 debut Taking Abalonia and adds seven new tracks to create the 15 you get here. Said The Whale have a very rhythmic clear vocal and playing style that mixes in some organ and harmonies that keep Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia interesting and make Said The Whale an import from up North worth checking out!
Key Track: "This City's A Mess"
Band With Similar Fire: The Decemberists
