Montreal trio Land of Talk have announced North American Fall tour plans in support of their debut full-length, Some Are Lakes, set for release October 7 via Saddle Creek in America and self-released through Secret City distribution in Canada. Touring will kick off with a special performance in New York City, September 11 at The Mercury Lounge, before two-weeks of east coast Canadian dates. The band will then commence a three-week run of U.S. dates opening for Broken Social Scene, starting October 8 in Grand Rapids, MI.
Land Of Talk front person, Elizabeth Powell, will join Broken Social Scene each night on the tour as guest vocalist on various songs throughout their set in addition to Land of Talk’s opening performance. Elizabeth can be heard contributing vocals on the acclaimed Broken Social Scene Presents: Brendan Canning Something For All Of Us…. album as well as the soundtrack to the Broken Social Scene scored film The Tracey Fragments, starring Ellen Page.
The soon to be released Some Are Lakes continues to showcase the bands powerful dynamics, raw musical and Powell’s vocal convictions which Time Out NY called, “a voice that flits between come-hither and go-fuck-yourself.”
