Noah And The Whale - Shape Of My Heart

Fear not, it's not a cover of the Sting song. Instead, the oddly named London five-piece are at last starting to release some records after a seemingly endless tour of almost every music venue in the capital.

As the follow-up to last year's lovely little slice of whistling magic 5 Years Time, Shape Of My Heart doesn't quite grab the attention in the same way as its predecessor. Yet it's still dreamy, wistful, melancholic pop-folk that will please anyone who recently fell head over heels for Laura Marling's recent album.

The only drawback for some may be lead singer's Charlie Fink's voice, which does somewhat verge on the irritating. Yet it still stands head and shoulders over most of the singles released this week, and it also has an endearingly daft video as a bonus.
