Ok, so I’m officially in love with this song. It may be a little late in the season to claim it as a ‘summer anthem’ especially after getting soaked to my skin this morning after a torrential downpour; it was five hours ago and my knees are still wet. Anyway, I digress. Released today, “5 Years Time” is a genius slice of indie pop.
Mixing melancholy and optimism with it’s handclaps, xylophone, ukulele and a wistful melody about hanging around at the zoo with elephants in the “sun sun sun”. You get the picture. For those who suffer with seasonal depression, or are just miserable full stop I’d recomend sticking this on repeat for around 15 minutes. You’ll be full of beans in no time. Check out the video below:
Noah and The Whale will be touring the UK with Broken Social Scene in October. Check their myspace for details.
