Land of Talk feature Elizabeth Powell (vocals/guitar), a former punk who got her start playing her own anti-rock anthems on the local scene of Guelph, Ontario, during her mid-teens. Upon her college years, with stints playing with the Aaron Riches Nuclear Family Band and the Valentines behind her, Powell set her sights on a solo career in the late '90s. Gigs in and around Ontario and Quebec eventually led to the formation of Land of Talk in 2005 with Bucky Wheaton (drums) and Chris McCarron (bass). Influences such as PJ Harvey, Dinosaur Jr., and Sonic Youth can be heard throughout the band's debut album, 2006's Applause Cheer Boo Hiss. The band landed on Saddle Creek for its second-full length, 2008's Some Are Lakes, which showed off a more eclectic, melodic approach and production by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music GuideMore
