Noah and the Whale

• Some of the most dedicated, blog-aware North American friends of Noah and
  the Whale have correctly identified North American tour dates circulating on
  the internet.
  
  It is with no little remorse and disappointment that we are compelled to
  cancel these dates. These words are being typed in the studio as we make
  progress on the next Noah and the Whale album. Between commitments in
  hereto-neglected Europe, we have made the sad but important decision to take
  time to develop these recordings over the winter months.
  
  Despite this unavoidable necessity we would like to apologise to all the
  wonderful friends we made on our most recent American adventure, to anyone
  who has bought tickets or was preparing to do so.
  
  The whole band enjoys an ongoing love affair with the US. The autumn tour
  was one of the most intense and heartening experiences of our lives and we
  were bristling with seasonal anticipation at the prospect of old faces and
  venues, not to mention new American audiences and experiences too. But there
  is simply not enough time in the world and we are sure that this next record
  will justify this difficult call.
  
  With new songs to disseminate and even more America-famished, we will cross
  the pond to tour across the continent from March 2009. This is a promise, a
  published, globally-viewable promise.
  
  Once again we want to express our most sincere gratitude for everyone who
  has seen us play, said they would see us play, or said two good words about
  the band. Noah and the Whale will be back and we will be back many times.
