LAND OF TALK - APPLAUSE CHEER BOO HISS E.P.

This sprung to mind when I was trying to find out who the support act is when The Decemberists tour in the autumn (I'm seeing them at Newcastle Academy in October). Turns out - it's Land Of Talk!

"Montreal's Land of Talk, led by the sparkling Elizabeth Powell, spits out a kind of churning, bright, deliberately melodic rock that embodies the enduring spirit of youth -- that period in our lives marked by overwhelming optimism and uncorrupted naivety.
