On July 1, 2009, Said the Whale released the EP The Magician to drum up anticipation for the release of their second full length album Islands Disappear on October 13, 2009.

On November 18, 2010, the band placed second behind rapper Kyprios in CKPK-FM's 2010 Peak Performance Project, winning $75,000.[2]

Said the Whale toured the U.S. for the first time in spring of 2011. They played shows along the West Coast on their way to and from Austin's SXSW Music Festival.

Said the Whale won the Juno Award for New Group of the Year at the 2011 Juno Awards.[3]

    The Whale (The Office)

    "The Whale" is the seventh episode of the ninth season of the American comedy television series The Office. The episode originally aired on NBC on November 15, 2012. The episode guest stars Jack Coleman as Robert Lipton and marks the return of actress Melora Hardin as Jan Levenson.

    The series depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. In this episode, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) is tasked with selling paper to a woman—who is later revealed to be Jan (Hardin)—from the Scranton White Pages, so Pam Halpert (Jenna Fischer) and the women of the office teach him how to interact with women. Angela Lipton (Angela Kinsey) confides in Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez) that her husband, Robert (Jack Coleman)—who is secretly having a relationship with Oscar—is cheating on her. Oscar helps her spy on her husband at his yoga class. Meanwhile, Toby Flenderson (Paul Lieberstein) convinces several of the men in the office to grow mustaches for "Movember".
