Land of Talk have signed to One Little Indian. I seem to remember really liking their last single. Here's Young Bridge... their 2nd single. The woman's voice is cool. There's some wierd effect on it which makes her sound like she's Chrissie Hynde singing in a different room. Quite a feat I'm sure you'll agree. It rocks like a good 'un and surprisngly it's actually pretty good. Ant and me started into space for a good few minutes trying to think of someone who it sounded like and we just couldn't think of anyone!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

A DELICIOUS COCKTAIL OF THE RAW AND THE SWEET, BRITTLE BUZZSAW GUITARS CHIMING TUNES HEAVY WITH NAGGING MELODY AND CRACKLING EMOTION, THE BULLDOZER RHYTHM SECTION DELIVERING THE ANGST-FUSED DYNAMICS, A ROCKET-PROPELLED MESS OF LOW-END AND CLATTER. ABOVE THIS MELEE, POWELL’S VOCAL, HONEYED AND BROKEN, RECALLING CHAN MARSHALL’S WARM DISQUIET, AND JULIANA HATFIELD’S BRIGHT CLARITY. “SOME PEOPLE THINK OUR MUSIC IS REALLY UPBEAT, OTHERS THINK IT’S REAL SOMBRE. I LIKE TO LET PEOPLE TAKE WHAT THEY WANT FROM THE MUSIC.” THE TRUTH IS, THE SONGS ARE BOTH UPBEAT AND SOMBRE, SOMETIMES AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IS WHY THEY’RE SO ADDICTIVELY DELICIOUS: HEARTBREAK AND HOPE, SET TO SOARING MELODY AND EXPLOSIVE NOISE. PERFECT ROCK’N’ROLL.
