Montreal's Land Of Talk, on Saddle Creek, is helmed by Broken Social Scene member Elizabeth Powell. The band has a new EP out, Fun and Laughter, which follows last year's Some Are Lakes and 2006's Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP. The pretty, Beth Orton-meets-Pedron the Lion-meets-Counting Crows (can I say that?) sounds on "It's Okay," which comes from last year's album, are rendered into a spooky expedition of thoughts with this video, directed by WeWereMonkeys, who have also done videos for Malajube and Emma Lee. The video takes on the gloomy, gritty qualities of some of the band's other songs, while the song itself stays neat and mostly acoustic.
The band is now touring the U.S. and Canada for the EP and will be at NYC's Mercury Lounge on 11/21. It's worth watching more of their other videos, particularly "Some Are Lakes" and "Troubled."
