Land Of Talk

This Canadian Indie-Rock trio, simply because they have a female singer, often lend themselves to comparisons with their fellow countryfolk Metric as well as Tennessee-dwelling punks Be Your Own Pet, and this article is no different.

I had a promo copy of their debut LP/EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss which seems to almost invite some sort of delete-as-appropriate kind of review. On the whole however, all four are equally applicable on this hit-and-miss record, released in the UK in October. For example, Elizabeth Powell's occasional Emily Haines-esque vocals sometimes glide and sometimes stutter over the often epic Dinosaur Jr. overdrive. Prime examples being former single "Summer Special", and my personal favourite "Breaxxbaxx".

Their full length album should be out within the next couple of months, but until then, this EP (availiable cheaper on import from Amazon for some reason) and their myspace below should be enough to satisfy.
