Land of Talk

What is it with bands from Montreal? They all bring the hotness along with the popness. It's like a popcorn machine of music! Anyways, enough of that analogy, I recently heard a band called Land of Talk. I was mainly hooked by the lead singer, Elizabeth Powell's vocals which remind me very much of the girls from Broken Social Scene. The music (of course) isn't as skilled as BBS's but it's melodic and a little bit gritty.

Tracks:

+ Breaxxbaxxx
+ All My Friends

The band currently only has one CD out which consists of only 8 tracks. A dissappointment especially when compared to Sufjan's Avalanche (21 tracks) and Devendra's Cripple Crow (22 tracks), and even more so considering 4 of the 8 are floating around in the Hype Machine. Even so, the band is worth a listen and possibly even a buy.
