Land of Talk The EPs (Opaque White)
LAND OF TALK EMERGED FROM THE ETHEREAL LANDSCAPES OF MID-AUGHTS CANADIAN INDIE ROCK WITH THEIR 2006 DEBUT APPLAUSE CHEER BOO HISS. LED BY ELIZABETH POWELL, THEY HAVE SPENT THE LAST 18 YEARS CARVING THEIR OWN PATH THROUGH THE MUSIC SCENE, CAPTIVATING AUDIENCES WITH THEIR EMOTIVE SOUNDSCAPES AND RAW VULNERABILITY. THE EPS BRINGS 2009’S FUN AND LAUGHTER AND 2021’S CALMING NIGHT PARTNER TOGETHER ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME, COMBINING TWO DISTINCT CHAPTERS IN LAND OF TALK’S SONIC JOURNEY WHILE OFFERING FANS A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON THE EVOLUTION OF THEIR SOUND. FUN AND LAUGHTER, ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2009, SHOWCASES THE BAND’S EARLY EXPERIMENTATION WITH TEXTURE AND TONE. FROM THE SHIMMERING GUITARS OF “MAY YOU NEVER,” TO THE HAUNTING MELODIES OF “A SERIES OF SMALL FLAMES,” EACH TRACK EXUDES A SENSE OF YOUTHFUL ENERGY AND INTROSPECTION. CALMING NIGHT PARTNER, RELEASED IN 2021, IS AN EQUALLY MESMERIZING COLLECTION OF SONGS THAT DELVES INTO THEMES OF LONGING AND REDEMPTION. WITH TRACKS LIKE “LEAVE LIFE ALONE,” AND “SOMETHING WILL BE SAID,” THE EP SHOWCASES POWELL’S CONTINUING EVOLUTION AS A SONGWRITER AND LYRICIST. THIS RELEASE REPRESENTS MORE THAN JUST A COLLECTION OF SONGS; THEY ARE A TESTAMENT TO THE BAND’S UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO THEIR CRAFT AND THEIR UNYIELDING PASSION FOR STORYTELLING THROUGH MUSIC. AS THEY CONTINUE TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF THEIR SOUND AND FORGE NEW PATHS IN THE INDIE ROCK LANDSCAPE, ONE THING REMAINS CERTAIN: THE ECHOES OF LAND OF TALK WILL LINGER ON, RESONATING IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF LISTENERS FOR YEARS TO COME.
