Isaac Brock's BSS Cameo

It's a bit strange to write a review of a show by a band who haven't released a proper album since 2005. It's even more strange for that group to sell out two nights at the cavernous Sound Academy, but Broken Social Scene aren't your average band. With almost 20 members rotating in and out based on availability, they operate more like an extended...

By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) March 10, 2007 1:00 pm
Background/Composition: Led by one fierce woman on guitar with a voice that'll melt your face clean off,the Montreal trio of two guys and a girl parlayed a sparse set up into a boiling cauldron of stripped down indie rock. Grade: 85 Comment: Following on the heels of such a strong performance from Cadence Weapon, Land Of Talk proved...

Land Of Talk — Cloak And Cipher

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) November 17, 2010 3:57 pm
It's kind of funny how one musician can be influenced by an invitation to collaborate, but Land Of Talk's Elizabeth Powell really has fully grasped the sonic expanse of Broken Social Scene. Now, this line of thought could easily lead to the proverbial chicken and egg debate over which came first, but Cloak And Cipher not only surpasses 90 per cent...

Video Of The Day: Land Of Talk's "Quarry Hymns"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) September 16, 2010 3:12 pm
Land Of Talk's video for Cloak & Cipher's "Quarry Hymns" is full of dancing - a creepy key-holding woman watching another woman dance, specifically. It's not clear why her hands are covered in blood towards the end of the clip, which alternates between black and white and colour throughout, but it's unsettling, to say the least.Cloak &...

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) February 19, 2010 6:01 pm
Bringing the Hal Willner Neil Young Project to Vancouver during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games was a complete no-brainer — if you're celebrating Canada's diverse talent and rich music history, it's a major coup to recruit some of the country's most revered musicians (plus American greats) to play the selected songs of one of its finest and most...

Land Of Talk — "It's Okay"

in
By CHARTattack Staff October 26, 2009 2:39 pm
Land Of Talk's clip for Some Are Lakes' "It's Okay" features a skull mask-clad rider on horseback (frontwoman Liz Powell?), galloping through a bleak landscape full of exploding mountains and wolves stalking a forest. Is it the edge of the world? Maybe. You can see Land Of Talk's video for "Troubled" here, while the clip for...
