Noah and The Whale Chat To I Like Music

The follow up to Noah & The Whale's gold selling debut album, Peaceful The World Lays Me Down, is a release the includes both a film and an album. Sharing the title The First Days of Spring, both the album and film intertwine beautiful imagery and poetic reasoning amongst the complexities and delicate sensibilities of the moving image coupled with a musical narrative.

I Like Music caught up with Charlie Fink, director of the film and the man behind the concept, to chat about The First Days of Spring as both film and album. We find out about his inspirations, how he approached the creative challenge and how he will move the project forward into the Noah and The Whale live show.

"I Like Music because… I've been surrounded by music my whole life. It seems impossible to imagine a world without it.CHARLIE, NOAH AND THE WHALE

ILM: The First Days of Spring is an album and a film. What is their relationship to one another?

Charlie: In terms of the realtionship I want people to have with them, I want them to distinguish each from the other. I want them to have their own relationship with the album as an album and their own relationship with the film as a film. The music is essentially the backbone of the film. It defines its pace in an abstract way. It narrates it in a sense, but it's not the same story. The narratives of each are complimentary. I see it as being a 50 minute film in its own right and also a seperate album.
