After two very comfortable albums of cinematic indie-pop, including last year's lovely The First Days of Spring, the talented but sometimes overly precious British indie-pop band Noah and the Whale weaned themselves from their folk security blanket on their third album this spring, Last Night on Earth, experimenting with some bolder synthesized arrangements. The lads share this Milwaukee tour stop with opener Nikki Lane, a sprightly country revivalist who revisits the classic sounds of Loretta Lynn and Waylon Jennings on her debut album I Am Sound.
