LAND OF TALK - MP3s, SXSW, Tour Dates - 3 NYC SHOWS THIS WEEK - win tix, etc

DOWNLOAD: Land Of Talk - Speak To Me Bones (MP3)
One of my favorite albums of 2006, Land of Talk's 7-song EP Applause, Cheer, Boo, Hiss was recently reissued by The Rebel Group. The homemade version cost me $10 when I got it. Insound has the reissue for just $6.00. The reissue is also getting the band a little more coverage, Pitchfork review included:
Somehow Powell finds a way to balance early Cat Power fragility and PJ Harvey volatility; whether mumbling indecipherably or singing about "fuckin' around," girls who "still piss their pants," or the dangers of drinking when already tired, she's always in command.Land of Talk played like 8 zillion shows at SXSW (more live MP3s here and here), and then they went on tour with Menomena (which brought them to Bowery Ballroom last week). I missed all of those recent shows, but here's a cool picture someone else took at one of them (Hot Freaks party, Club DeVille, March 17):

I saw them down in SXSW. Didn't really know anything about them- but they were one of my favorite shows in Austin, and I picked up the EP Immediately after. Def. check her out.
