As Land of Talk, Elizabeth Powell pushes indie rock's boundaries while questioning society's confining expectations. When the project emerged in 2006 with Applause Cheer Boo Hiss, their spiky, raucous songs and Powell's keening, vibrato-laden vocals evoked the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but their sound soon grew more nuanced: 2008's Some Are Lakes gave equal time to their music's beauty and its bite. After a lengthy hiatus during which Powell considered quitting music altogether, Land of Talk experienced a creative rebirth with the gently eclectic contemplations of mortality on 2017's Life After Youth and 2020's similarly introspective Indistinct Conversations, both of which featured expansive sounds and clear-eyed, confessional songwriting. With 2023's Performances, Powell continued Land of Talk's reinvention, setting the guitar aside in favor of keyboard-driven explorations of their identity as a non-binary artist. Powell started writing and playing songs at age 14 while growing up in Guelph, Ontario. Later, they played with the Aaron Riches Nuclear Family Band and the Valentines and performed as a solo artist, releasing an album under the name ELE_K* in 2003. While enrolled in Concordia University's jazz program, Powell met bassist Blake Markle and drummer Mark "Bucky" Wheaton. They formed Land of Talk in 2006, taking inspiration from PJ Harvey, Dinosaur Jr., and Sonic Youth for the project's sound. By the time they recorded their debut album, April 2006's Applause Cheer Boo Hiss, Tim Kramer had taken over bass duties. More lineup changes followed in 2007, with Kramer and Wheaton leaving Land of Talk, and bassist Chris McCarron and drummer Eric Thibodeau joining. Land of Talk moved to Saddle Creek for its second-full length, 2008's Some Are Lakes, a more eclectic, melodic album produced by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and featuring the Slip's Andrew Barr on drums. Around this time, Powell also became a touring member of Broken Social Scene. Following a tour with that band, McCarron left to play guitar with the Dears. Bassist Joe Yarmush joined soon after, and Land of Talk issued the Fun and Laughter EP in October 2009. While recuperating from a problem with their vocal cords, Powell wrote Land of Talk's third album Cloak and Cipher. Released in August 2010, it featured contributions from members of Stars, Arcade Fire, and the Besnard Lakes. Following Cloak and Cipher's release, Land of Talk went on an extended break provoked by exhaustion, lost demos, and family illness. In April of 2015, Powell played their first show in four years at Orilla, Ontario's Roots North Music Festival. Several Land of Talk shows in 2016 led up to the May 2017 release of Life After Youth, an album inspired by the sounds that aided Powell's father's recovery from a stroke, including ambient, classical, and the tonkori, a traditional Japanese stringed instrument. Produced by John Agnello, the album found Wheaton and McCarron returning to the fold, and also counted Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, Sharon Van Etten, and the Besnard Lakes among its contributors. With Land of Talk back in the swing of things, Powell began writing songs for their next album in 2018. In 2019, they appeared on the American Football song "Every Wave to Ever Rise." After an early 2020 tour with Wolf Parade, and the reissue of Powell's 1999 album Belle Époque, Land of Talk returned that July with Indistinct Conversations. An intimate, acoustic-based set, the album was co-produced by the band and recorded in a studio McCarron built in Wheaton's basement. Powell and company expanded on Indistinct Conversations' explorations of complex relationships and childhood trauma with November 2021's Calming Night Partner EP. Land of Talk returned to the studio in mid-2022, with Powell handling production duties and trading guitar for keyboards. The results were October 2023's Performances, a collection of long-gestating expressions of Powell's non-binary identity and rejection of people-pleasing behavior.

Some Are Lakes Yuppy Flu Father thought How you threw the horse race Suffering on the wet one Laying on the dry day Oh did you leave it all alone I'm your electric heater How could you leave it all alone 'Cause now we got a bleeder Are you seeing your own death And selling it to me Are you seeing your own death And selling it to me Father thought How you threw the horse race It's all because of water Pissing on the Earth's face Oh did you leave it all alone I'm elective leader How could you leave it all alone 'Cause now we got a bleeder Are you seeing your own death And selling it to me Are you seeing your own death And selling it to me Are you seeing your own death And selling it to me Are you seeing your own death And selling it to me Well, you're seeing your own death And selling it to me Stop seeing your own death And selling it to me Death by Fire Giving up a life worth leading tears us down And no surprise, the coldest eyes never found Giving up a life worth living kills us all The longest time, the longest line that took all Live your life in sacrifice is what you did And I don't think a rose or "Raise a toast" seems to fit I still get scared of fate, and interstate, and death by fire It's just the longest time, longest line of heart's desire Didn't I tell you there was no such thing as a bad, bad day And baby, even if there was, I wouldn't believe it anyway One poison, two poison, three boys and it's not a known for sure It's just the cold, the eyes, and no surprises, that's not pure Oh I still get scared of fate, and interstate, and death by fire It's just the longest time, longest line of heart's desire Didn't I tell you there was no such thing as a bad, bad day And baby, even if there was, I wouldn't believe it anyway The Man Who Breaks Things (Dark Shuffle) He said it's time for the now Is it time It's a bet I disbelieve And the worst, the sad stroke And the crowd and the smoke They may be twenty-three Breath-bated gnawing Was barely worth drawing 'Cause I made up my misses But you'll always be the man who breaks things Since when does soul of the song Does the cracks in the wall Then build a sadder world Do the meek, dirty friends Will they see with a glimpse And come and soften her Breath-bated gnawing Was barely worth drawing 'Cause I made up my misses But you'll always be the man who breaks things Some Are Lakes Started at a summer lake A sentence and a name If only for a moment's sake We called it and it came Held it down, the loving heat Longer than a while Held it down, the loving heat Softer than a chime We've seen how sick wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die We've seen how sick wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die Shot the rats and as they ran From the quarry to the tracks Chased them as you gave your hand And never took it back Held it up and felt the wind Blow and miss a chime Found a god and begged at him To fight your body cry We've seen how sick wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die We've seen how sick wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder We've seen how sick wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die Oh I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die Give Me Back My Heart Attack Does this not take Got any paper Chasses et damer Give you ladies exercise It's stolen light No one betrayed you But sleeping without a key Only fox

kiss my arm As I look away Don't hear what I say That maybe when I die I get to be a car Driving in the night Lighting up the dark Something in your voice Sparks a little hope I'll wait up for that noise Your voice becomes my home Roam around Don't care what I find A little thunder's good Thought maybe you would But it's okay We all feel left out Sometimes growing up It can get you down I give you something that no one's gonna give you My sleeping skin and my heart deep down in you I'll never tell you, but you're my little scar Goodbyes are hard and they're hard and they're hard Maybe when I die I get to be a car Driving in the night Lighting up the dark Something in your voice Sparks a little hope I'll wait up for that noise Your voice becomes my home Young Bridge Wine is lovely But it's making my legs shake Sad and stoned Let it stay alone 'Cause we belong to live right Though it's riding our own strength Where were we when these souls had eyes 'Cause you're a street angel, house devil Leading so right You're a street angel, house devil Leading so right And there's no light underneath you, underneath you No, there's no light underneath you, underneath you How long to live right When it's right at our arms' length Sad and stoned Let it stay a lone 'Cause we belong to live right Though it's right at our arms' length All the love receded all my money's gone 'Cause you're a street angel, house devil Leading so right Yeah you're a street angel, house devil Leading so right And there's no light underneath you, underneath you Oh there's no light underneath you, underneath you I just want my money to say I just want my money to say I just want my money to say It will never leave so suddenly again 'Cause you're a street angel, house devil Leading so right Yeah you're a street angel, house devil Leading so right And there's no light underneath you, underneath you Oh there's no light underneath you, underneath you Ah there's no light underneath you, underneath you And there's no light underneath you, underneath you Corner Phone She wears a key He wears an axe Sky shifts from light They float on their backs Then it leapt from the woods And bit through the bone How to die, how to die, how to die How to die, how to die, how to die It's great ending And it's only slowly Slow down, let it slow down 'Cause it seems to me that it's all money Let it slow down, let it slow down Out at the pass Sets on deer Runs fast as fast 'Til it's safe in the clear But it leapt from the woods And bit through the bone How to die, how to die, how to die How to die, how to die, how to die It's great ending Slow down, let it slow down Let it slow down 'Cause it seems to me that it's all money Let it slow down, let it slow down Got a Call Got a call The one I've been waiting for In the middle of the night Said I know what you do and know it's the same to you Can't keep down a girl who loves music In the darkness, dance to the dial tone As I sing myself to sleep The most beauty I've seen Lives in a dream Where we laugh and love to live for the little things Not even if I could Get you back, I don't try You weren't all that good But I loved you like you were mine Here's the only thing I keep it like a secret Although it always rains A billion hearts stop bleeding It's alone And no one knows how to feel And I party all the time Yeah I know how to kill But I hate how it feels That everyone's in love with someone else And even if I could Get you back, I don't try You weren't all that good But I loved you like you were mine Here's the only thing I keep it like a secret Although it always rains A billion hearts stop bleeding Even if I could Get you back, I don't try You weren't all that good But I loved you like you were mine Here's the only thing I keep it like a secret Although it always rains A billion hearts stop bleeding Troubled Freedom to finally taste all that I have been chasing And now that it's here Not amused, dear, at just how much time I'm wasting But the nights we stayed up all too late The red and white stripes, they would blend Them warm, washed-out lips Ripped magazines to you Is all I could send Troubled heart folded And devil right over Mon coeur, c'est fort Perdu tout pouvoir Avec moi, avec toi, avec coeur Avec un et c'est pris Nos têtes, nos langues Nos oreilles étaient toujours remplies Mais les histores et chansons De la perte d'innocence M'ont tellement hanté Que j'ai remis mes mains dans mes poches Et ma langue dans ma propre tête Troubled heart folded And devil right over Mon coeur, c'est fort Perdu tout pouvoir Make wrong things right You get down to the level 'Cause bad things just aren't Bigger than you
Cloak and Cipher Cloak and Cipher Oh my God I like that Light it leaks through Make my day Know all you love It lacks soul And all of the candle may catch What you can use I just saw you Rhythm, I tried It would take you only a while And to take it suddenly fair It won't do Why'd you say you what up and went Lied to kid you when you said send Though meanwhile that soft hate It was true Never saw you live in that call Looking back and write on the wall Did you think it would beat this heart well String it through Loose choir Unsteady on the stage What you lovest well remains Loose choir Love it well and it will stay I won't redeem another Lose that I won't redeem another Lose that I won't redeem another Lose that Lean on the need And I know you never know quite How it feels I've opened the night It's enough that connections aren't when It was true I just saw you Rhythm, I tried It would take you only a while And to take it suddenly fair It won't do Never saw you live in that call Looking back and write on the wall Did you think it would beat this heart well String it through Loose choir Unsteady on the stage What you lovest well remains Loose choir Love it well and it will stay I won't redeem another Lose that I won't redeem another Lose that I won't redeem another Lose that Lean on the need Goaltime Exposure First of all It leaves a bad ache So I choose good Good things to think on There we were, heaven sent Look for lights anywhere Bleed this out, deviled soul Look at what doesn't care Please in me, make me well Make me well, make me well This seed in me hasn't set Heaven sent only shell I keep my cold eye locked in a different place I did it well, I did it for you For all the cold that kept it down Its ring is hard earned I keep my cold eyes locked in a different place I did it well, I did it for you When it's deepest in the ground It's ringing harder than the bells do Do it enough Out of good, bad Always in awe And nearly savoring Please me out when I'm want Looks a lot, doesn't need it Bleed this out, deviled soul Suddenly it's hard to see it Please in me, make me well Make me well, make me well This seed in me hasn't set Heaven sent only shell I keep my cold eye locked in a different place I did it well, I did it for you For all the cold that kept it down Its ring is hard earned I keep my cold eyes locked in a different place I did it well, I did it for you When it's deepest in the ground It's ringing harder than the bells do I keep my cold eye locked in a different place I did it well, I did it for you For all the cold that kept

ringing harder than the bells do It's ringing harder than the bells do Quarry Hymns Leave it on the hottest day To sink this quarry under What the murder on the pride would bring Lion, crow, your kingdom Loaded in the stone heart I couldn't keep the woods in you You had to learn about the hardest things The softest side would leave you And on days like these I could take apart my window So let down I was so let down How deep is this soul I feel I'm in Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it How deep is this hole I feel I'm in Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it In the least of the

low In hopes that our sentinel, the panther Who fled what was not fair Don't make right these works of good We lie slowly And watch TV And though I care And there love lies Consider this good Consider this right In Florida Macabre Slow down, you move too fast Never liked you working so hard The devil's in heat and I Got your minds made up Way out along the path Carry why I love, it's so hard And now I want a reason why Way to cut us out Way to cut us out If it wasn't for this life, I would leave it But oh I'd miss the sky and the sea Damage to my eyes, I won't see it Don't know what you're

know what you're missing I try to say these words Leave it to the rumours at best I'm never gonna feel and I I want a mind made up If it wasn't for this life, I would leave it But oh I'd miss the sky and the sea Damage to my eyes, I won't see it Don't know what you're missing and me Don't know what you Don't know what you Don't know what you Don't know what you Oh I'd miss the sky and the sea Damage to my eyes, I won't see it Don't know what you're missing Don't know what you're missing
