The last couple years, Canadian Music Week has been sort of like a speed bump on my way to SxSW - under other circumstances, I'd have spent more time taking in the music on offer but given the tight timelines, I usually had to either take it in in passing or not at all. This year, however, I ended up going three nights straight, starting with the Under Byen show on Thursday . Friday night I spent what was, for me at least, a record six and a half hours at the Horseshoe [...]
Illinois? Hefur ekkert með Sufjan Stevens að gera. Bara enn eitt indie bandið að gera það gott. Gáfu nýlega út EP plötuna What The Hell Do I Know? og keppast menn nú um að róma hana og lofa.

Remember when Chan Marshall decided she was done with being a psychiatrist's worst nightmare and was now funny woman with ambitions to star on SNL? Well, if and when that happens we've found what it would sound like. Since this is blog land, I know most of you who read will know who this band is. I'm talking about Montreal's (where else?) Land of Talk . The first time I was introduced to LOT was through the emeritus Village Indian , and Amrit had a picture of vocalist/guitarist Elizabeth. The only thing I could [...]
Land Of Talk is a Montreal-based 3 piece "fronted by the daughter of North America's first female alligator wrestler". It took me a couple listens to get into, but I think it's pretty rocking. Sorta resembles Forget Cassettes in its rhythmic dissonance, and Enon in it's chunkiness. Maybe throw in some of Emily Haines' screaming while we're at it... Applause Cheer Boo Hiss comes out on 3/20 - catch them at SXSW if you're down there next week! Land of Talk @ SXSW: [...]
Land Of Talk [MP3] Land Of Talk - Speak To Me Bones I've seen Land Of Talk 's name everywhere but never got around to listening to them. It's a serious problem I have. My friend asked me yesterday if I'd heard them. I sheepishly replied "NO." She freaked out and immediately reached for her earbuds for an impromptu iPOD concert. Within the first 3 measures of "Speak To Me Bones" I could tell I was going to be [...]

It's not too often you get to end your work week on Hump Day, but that's exactly what I'll be doing after today; we're off tomorrow and Friday for a little vacation down to Madison to see the CWK/TPC concert. And actually, my three day workweek turned into a two day workweek because of a sudden Dr. appointment yesterday, so I'm sure they'll be plenty to catch up on today at the ol' office. I noticed on Yahoo this morning this article about whether or not a liberal arts degree can help you land a [...]
I asked Montreal resident "BrooklynVegan Mike" if he could give is a quick preview of some of the bands from Montreal that are traveling to Austin for SXSW this year. Here's what he came up with.... Montreal has created an environment of great, imaginative music. We have our own indie music showcase and outdoor music festival, and are the artistic capital of Canada (despite what Toronto might tell you). Faster then you can say poutine, the city has erupted on to the indie stage with a [...]
Montreal's Land of Talk is touring with Menomena and Field Music this spring. Yes, I said Menomena and Field Music. Make sure you get there early enough to catch them. Listen to the electricity in this track. It's going to be an overload of mania. Hope to see you there...somewhere. Land of Talk - Speak To Me Bones (mp3) Get the Menomena and Field Music by clicking over there on the right, and own Applause Cheer Boo Hiss (Dig) for the [...]
It's always difficult to judge a band by a single release; even more so when that single release is an acclaimed seven song EP. For Land of Talk, the power of the Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP, out in the USA on March 20, signifies not that the band is capable of fully realizing their sound in the near future, but rather, Land of Talk has already arrived, and are just waiting for the rest of us to catch up. This power trio from Montreal somehow finds a way to create dense post-punk songs [...]
Well, The Future of Rock N Roll will in fact have its presence felt at two festivals over the course of the next month. The first will be in San Fransisco as a part of the Noise Pop Fest .

The lineup of streaming performances already includes the likes of John Vanderslice, Midlake, Clinic and French Kicks. And more are expected to be announced as well. [...]

photo by Hilary Leftick E 'ry once in a while a band comes along that combines the elusive unnamed things that make good rock music and the better aspects of pop. One of the latest on that roster is the Montreal band (who now seems to have set up secondary residence in NYC), Land of Talk . For those of you who are regular readers of other blogs or listeners to some better radio stations, this isn't news. But then, [...]
Land of Talk members include Elizabeth, Bucky and Chris are a Montreal-based band started by Elizabeth Powell . Elizabeth has been making music for awhile but it wasn't until she met up with drummer Bucky was Land of Talk formed, then Chris (bass) came along and the intricate beaming rock of Land of Talk was complete. Their debut album Cheer Boo Hiss was released on Dependent Music on April, 11th 2006. Weeeeee! Sea Foam [...]
photo by photosapience from their Toronto show on Sept. 23, 2006 When Montreal's Land of Talk opened for the Dears in November it was my second time seeing them. Despite having high expectations, when I saw Land of Talk open for Shout Out Out Out Out and Holy Fuck in September I was slightly underwhelmed. I am not sure what it was but I just wasn't feeling it that night. However, I didn't let that first impression sour me and I made sure I was at the Dears show good and [...]
