Said the Whale

ESPAÑOL

Said the Whale es una banda indie sin los condimentos indie. No ironia, no pose hipsters (segun ellos en su myspace) pero la musica es inteligente y bien pensada y sobretodo artistica y con alma. ellos son originarios de Vancouver, y como tambien mencionan son el sonido de una ciudad que se encuentra perpetuamente en cielos grises y montañas con nieve en la cima. Son el sonido de estar atrapado en el agua. Son el sonido de tener veinte-tantos años y ser libre y descorazonado. Son los sonidos de esa ciudad tan hermosa y natural. Said the Whale es una parte Brian Wilson, una parte Nick Cave y pedazos de The Shins y The Decemberists. Osea son sus influencias no los miembros de la banda.

Su album debut se titula Takin Abalonia el cual fue lanzado en el 2007. Despues de eso fue re-lanzado el 3 de junio con siete nuevas canciones y re-bautizaron el album con el nombre: Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia.

Tambien tienen dos EP que estan para descargarse en su pagina oficial.Ellos son una joven banda dirigiendose al mundo con un sonido de su pueblo.

ENGLISH

Said the Whale is an indie band without the indie baggage. Said The Whale No irony, no hipster posing (as they said in their myspace) but their music is witty and smart and artful and soulful. They are the sound of Vancouver's perpetually grey skies and snow topped mountains and the Lions Gate Bridge. The sound of being trapped by water on three sides and the Coastal Range on the fourth. The sound of being twenty-something and free and heartbroken. They are the sounds of a beatiful and calm city. Said The Whale is one-part Brian Wilson, one-part Nick Cave, a dash of the Shins, sprinkled with the Decemberists.

Their debut album Taking Abalonia was released in 2007. It was re-released on June 3, 2008 in Canada with seven new songs under the new name Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia.

Their EPs Let's Have Sound and West Coast Christmas are available for download free of charge on their website.They're a young band heading out into the world with a sound of their own."
