Riverfest Elora 2018: Day 3: Land of Talk - Concert Photos

Elizabeth Powell, also known as Land of Talk, performed solo on the Dine Alone Records Wax on Wheels stage at Riverfest Elora 2018.

This was my second time seeing Land of Talk live; the first was back at NXNE in 2016.

Check out some tunes:

"Yes You Were", "Loving", "Inner Lover" and "This Time"

NXNE 2016: Land of Talk at The Portlands - Concert Pictures

Montreal band Land of Talk was the first band I caught during the Saturday program of NXNE's "Festival within a Festival" at the Portlands in south east Toronto. This was a new concept for NXNE where they had two stages with alternating acts throughout the Friday and Saturday of the festival. Check out Roy Cohen's shots from Friday here.

The band played their highly enjoyable smooth indie pop tunes as the sunshine beat down and the crowd started to filter in. I had been looking forward to catching the band live since I was unable to make it to their recent Lee's Palace performance back in May and I liked their set.

Check out some of their tunes:

"Speak To Me Bones"

"Sea Foam"

"Some are Lakes"

"Quarry Hymns"

"It's Okay"

Scarlett Johannson & Pete Yorn, Minus the Bear and more Cool Stuff

Spin has got Scarlett Johansson and Pete Yorn performing Relator. As I posted previously, I rather like this tune and I'm looking forward to hearing more of their songs. The album is called Break Up, it's scheduled for release on September 15, and it's available for pre-order on iTunes.  I've got to pick up some Wayfarers.

Details on Minus the Bear's new album are available from Brooklyn Vegan. Here's "Knights" from Planet of Ice. If you like their stuff, it's available on emusic.



Also posted on Brooklyn Vegan is a peppy new song from Land of Talk. It's called "You May Never" and it's from their forthcoming EP Fun and Laughter. Their past releases are on emusic. Exclaim's got some news on the EP as well including the October 13 release date.

Stereogum shows off the new video from Sondre Lerche called "Heartbeat Radio". I love the counterpoint of the happy-sounding melody against the lyrical content. It's from his new album, also called Heartbeat Radio, which is out now and available through iTunes. Sondre's performing at The Mod Club next week on the 16th.
