angels twenty - return home

Land of Talk
Young Bridge
SXSW @ Club De Ville (March 17, 2007)

Here’s a sweet little slice of Montreal band Land of Talk’s live show, from their SXSW performance earlier this year. It’s not often that I remember enough of a band’s new songs that I’ll notice it when it shows up on record or another show, but “Young Bridge” is an exception. It’s easy to forget with the band’s slow-burn profile that Applause Cheer Boo Hiss has been out for well over a year now, and that “new” songs like this are actually pretty old for the band, though they haven’t had a chance to commit them to record yet.

Word has it that Elizabeth Powell and her cohorts, including a new drummer, are set to return to the studio to re-record the new album, much of which had already been laid down with the last drummer (who left because of the wear and tear from the constant touring). In the meantime, the UK will see an expanded version of Applause Cheer Boo Hiss with new tracks that may or may not be available via the intertubes.

(P.S. Sorry for not uploading the right file when the post went live! It’s there now.
