Land Of Talk
Cloak And Cipher
Saddle Creek
ADDS 8/17/10

Land of Talk’s sophomore LP Cloak and Cipher marks an electric step forward for the band musically and sonically, establishing vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Elizabeth Powell as one of Canada’s most exciting new musical voices. Joining Powell on the album are Eoin O Laoghaire (bass) and Andrew Barr (drums) and special guests drawn from the Montreal music scene and beyond including Patrick Watson and members of Stars, Wintersleep, Besnard Lakes, Arcade Fire and Esmerine.

Elizabeth Powell’s sultry howl is like a stiff drink: icy, not too sweet and capable of knocking you on your ass.”–Rolling Stone

“The spotlight stays on charismatic Elizabeth Powell, who grinds out chunky guitar noise as she attacks the mic with a slow-burn drawl that suggests Lucinda Williams fronting a power trio.”–SPIN

"Steely, tightly-coiled guitar music you can see your breath in.”–Pitchfork
