Land of Talk announce new album and tour (listen to "Weight of the Weekend")

land-of-talk

Land of Talk are back with new album Indistinct Conversations that will be out May 15 via Saddle Creek. It’s their first album since 2017’s Life After Youth. Singer-songwriter Elizabeth Powell co-produced the album with her bandmates Mark “Bucky” Wheaton (drums/keys) and Christopher McCarron (bass), and made it in a home studio that McCarron built in Wheaton’s basement. The first single is “Weight of the Weekend,” that starts simply enough before blossoming with Powell’s expressive voice and guitar lines. It also deals with some heavy subject matter. “‘Weight of That Weekend’ is a recognition of having been on the receiving end of a lifetime of sexual coercion, assault, boundary violations, and subsequent gaslighting,” says Powell. “It all just came to light after an especially heavy weekend a few summers back. I was so sick of carrying all this weight that wasn’t mine to bear. So sick of being owned by all of this. Imposed on me mostly by men. I grew so sick of suffering and being slowed-down by this weight. The song is a prayer for a lightness of being. A prayer for capital ‘L’ Love.” Listen to that below.
