Montreal's Land Of Talk debuted with 2006's Applause Cheer Boo Hiss, on which singer-guitarist Elizabeth Powell combined a respectable grasp of pop-punk violence with a powerful sense of mood, using weird, barbed chords and injured croon to yank plenty of loose threads from her hooks. By the time she recorded 2008's Some Are Lakes, she was understandably a little tired of the trio's initial batch of songs, and made a more quiet and suspenseful album without giving up on Applause's unpretentious strengths. Powell and band spend even more time with acoustic guitars and piano on the new Fun And Laughter EP, offering further hints that her songwriting will keep its grip on those worried, weary moments as the band tweaks its sound.
