November 4, 2008 // Toronto, ON – Fresh off a three-week run in the U.S. with Broken Social Scene, Montreal trio Land of Talk have announced additional Fall tour dates in North America and beyond in support of their debut full-length, Some Are Lakes. The album, which hit stores earlier this month via Saddle Creek in America and Secret City distribution in Canada, has been garnering glowing reviews, along with their performances. Dates continue starting Thursday night in Winnipeg, MB and run through December 12 in London, UK (compete dates below).
Some high praise for Some Are Lakes::
“[Some Are Lakes] casts its own illumination, intense yet rarely harsh” - New York Times
“[On Some Are Lakes] 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 (4 out of 5 stars)
“Powell is no mere singer-songwriter dressing herself up in rock-trio cliché: She really seems to think, feel, sleep, and reason in the language of rock ‘n’ roll.” - Village Voice
“Canadian trio evolve past the jagged noise of their debut EP in favor of subversive melodies, all with foxy Elizabeth Powell at the helm.” - Rolling Stone
