NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Saddle Creek) - We are very happy to announce another addition to the roster - Land of Talk! The debut full-length, Some Are Lakes, will be released on October 7. The title track from the record is now available digitally via iTunes, Amazon and other outlets.
Land of Talk will be on tour in September and October, and the October dates are with Broken Social Scene! A full list of tour dates is below.
Land of Talk arrive with Some Are Lakes, the much-anticipated debut full-length and their first recording for Saddle Creek. Led by singer/ guitarist Elizabeth Powell, Some Are Lakes was recorded in the band's hometown of Montreal with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and is the follow up to their acclaimed 2006 EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss (Rebel Group). Some Are Lakes continues to showcase Powell's vocal convictions, which Time Out NY called "a voice that flits between come-hither and go-f-yourself." Powell's voice and roaring guitars take center-stage alongside bassist Chris McCarron and drummer Andrew Barr (The Slip). The album is born of an artistic sensibility that digs its heels into the present, and yet is entirely tied to the ashtray fumes of its past and the jet turbine whine of its future. Some Are Lakes is as much an album about where Land of Talk have been, and where they will be, as it can ever be about where they are now.
