    They have done a hell of a lot of growing up. An immense album.
  2. Dot Music

    However maudlin Noah & The Whale begin, then, there's a wonderful narrative here that sees them move from first-love blues, through resentment to healing and finally to acceptance.
  3. Uncut
    60
    Ambitious, orchestral and accompanied by a 45-minute film, it candidly documents singer Charlie Fink's recovery from a badly broken heart.
