Land Of Talk are back, and Lizzie Powell just announced a new album called LASTS. For two decades this project has been one of the underground's best kept gems, the kind of band you press into friends' hands and swear by. Powell put Land Of Talk on hiatus, then brought it roaring back in 2017 with Life After Youth, a record that felt like reconnecting with an old voice you missed. Since then she's kept a steady rhythm, dropping albums every three years, which means we were overdue for a new moment. Right on schedule, here it is.
The first taste is "4:44," and it carries that signature Land Of Talk pull: hushed guitars, aching melody, the emotional heft that made Some Are Lakes such a stunner back in 2008. Powell has always written like every line matters. This track is no exception.
LASTS is coming, and the wait has been worth it. One of indie's quiet greats stepping back into the light.
