Lizzie Powell is an incredible songwriter with one of the most beguilingly beautiful voices ever recorded.

[@LowdownBoy]

Did you only stay for 30 seconds? Because at 0:37 it's noticeably flat.

[@kevinadams6726]

@@LowdownBoy while performing live and playing guitar at the same time. Do you think the Beatles were always perfectly on pitch every live performance? Get your head out of your ass.

[@LowdownBoy]

@@kevinadams6726 Yeah yeah, the whole everyone wipes their ass argument.. heard it before. The Beatles really can't be compared this way with the likes of many. Not equivalent. Sorry you're upset, I didn't mean to provoke YOU when I posted that 2 months ago. Shit happens though.

[@kevinadams6726]

@@LowdownBoy How can the beatles not be compared? They sang live also, and probably messed up more than Lizzie Powell does. So you are saying she sucks as a singer because she was ever so slightly flat one time in a live performance? Go listen to some autotuned bullshit.

[@LowdownBoy]

@@kevinadams6726Lol you need an ice pack.

[@carlosdarity6456]

Her voice is incredible. She sounds exactly the same as the recordings. Super rare for an artist nowadays. Seems like she has been through some shit since I saw her on an ABC special years ago.

[@joey4track]

ABC special? You wouldn't happen to have a link wouldya?

[@ixzeroxi]

I love all their songs, so much. I WANT TO CRY. Thanx a lot for keep sharing music with us yny

[@untiltherainfalls]

LITERALLY their songs will never get old

[@vagaboots]

This version of Inner Lover is even better than on the album. Both the music and the voice. Well done Liz

[@billslobotski6549]

I absolutely love the french horn jam! What a beautiful voice and perfect band.

[@alexanderaultman]

The ending of Loving gave me chills.

:’( remember finding out about them back in 2008 I was only 14 years old I had bought an iPod touch from saving up lunch money, back then Apple use to have free downloadable songs and music videos each day. That’s how I first heard of “land of talk - it’s ok” and grew to love it.

[@edsonmarquez2773]

Man, me too :’)

[@earlymorningpreacher5640]

@@edsonmarquez2773 me tooo.

[@splaff79]

That whole album is stellar

[@the1brippie]

I had an them on my mp3 player alongside Terminal and Coldplay! Then Metric and Imogen Heap aka Frou Frou in high school circa 2007. I would jam to them before science class and during lunch time. Those were the times.

[@PatPauloMMA]

I love their sound.

[@kd_gray]

I rock with this set...Coming from a serious hip hop background. She sounds beautiful

[@btaylo24]

Enjoyed this set, some interesting music. Really like her voice as well, has a lovely tone to it.

[@threeinitiates8260]

love the french horn~!

[@turrycruise4583]

Saw them in June, best night this year. Elizabeth Powell is amazing.

[@screamwall]

I want to wrap myself up in her voice and fall asleep.

[@jeremystroud3653]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Land of Talk!!!!!

[@tylermitchell349]

(Standing applause). Excellent excellent excellent job to all of you. As Apple Music says “a magnificent return to form”. Thank you for sharing your music with us. It’s like medicine.

[@talulahbeisel]

very happy I stumbled upon these guys today:)

[@NeuroticCorpse]

Lizzie was my first musician crush back in 2009. Her voice always managed to tickle my spine.

[@rohocarmesi]

Love it.❤

[@kevinfeyko3509]

Love her voice. They didn't play "World Made" but that's the one that I liked most on Life After Youth.

Mint, this is fucking mint wtf

[@NeuroticCorpse]

How the fuck did I miss this performance???????

[@monadlg]

I love Lizzie Powell's voice !

[@tmiicon2925]

Saw a vid of them playing song...I guess its called "You are the end". I wonder is it recorded to an album? Is it a cover is that why I can't find a recorded version?

[@tremoo5987]

Read all the comments below.

[@corydinsmore1117]

So good.

[@thaispasqualini8745]

Have I listened to "Brazil"? *-*

[@renatofernandes8817]

tinha que rolar aqui em Goiania.

[@ryanroberts1987]

She's such a goddess

[@charlottesimss9853]

Land of Talk is kind of an acquired taste for certain situations. Their music is some of my first picks when I'm out mountain biking. I can't really dedicated listen to them but they add a nice ambience

[@addthisto]

vauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

SLOAN, ZEUS, TEGAN & SARA, LAND OF TALK

[@pepsimaru]

The wall.

[@Sunflowrrunner]

Land of Talk had some interesting songs on their Some are Lakes album. I think their newest one is worth a listen, but it isn't one that I personally play on repeat.

[@CheesedBurgers]

If you find ladies like that bass player in Canada, I need to move up there lol

[@TheArtInterviews]

I love that she comes with no makeup, no cool clothes, no b*llshit, just present herself as she is, her voice and their music being the only thing that matters. True actual-real-punk attitude

[@karawethan]

Way better than the album. Whoever mixed the sound on Life After Youth did an awful job.

[@kylesquance824]

Strongly disagree. Please have another listen.

[@karawethan]

Please have another listen to Some Are Lakes, or any previous Land of Talk release. Life After Youth is so compressed it's like listening to music through a wall.

[@kylesquance824]

Will do. I have to admit it's pretty incredible when I lose track of production value because the song writing is so good. Thanks for your reply. Cheers!

[@mikekashaev]

@@karawethan This is really true, previous albums, especially Some Are Lakes, sound different. That one got lot more air in it. But anyway the latest one is great, way more compressed, but is sounds fine.

[@ruok3351]

is she on drugs? she aged af

[@robroilen4441]

Indie rock starter pack: - Play two chords on a grungy guitar with stickers on it - Make sure bassist uses a pick - Sing about how "some things never change" or "the cold wind of this town", the more overused the better Seriously, I know there's better music out there, KEXP, and you do too.

[@Cragiesea]

Rob Roilen - This is a new lineup by the way. Check out some of their older stuff. Liz is really a creative and talented guitarist and I Love her Voice and lyrics. Maybe you'll appreciate her early work more. I'm just glad she looks happy and is playing again. May there be Happiness to all who have Love in their heart.

[@TheBoreTide]

Rob - So when are you going to start and then get your band to come do a session on KEXP?

[@robroilen4441]

Thinking bands just get to choose which sessions they do was your first mistake

[@manversusmachine]

This band has been around longer than most of the bands who play on KEXP have been able to drive. Not to say that seniority = better but KEXP picked land of talk because she's been around for awhile, has a devoted following and always puts out consistently good stuff. I'm sorry if it doesn't move you but....uh..you have no idea what you're talking about. Go back to listening to parquet courts

[@robroilen4441]

"New innovative stuff" Nothing about this performance is new or innovative. If it's new material for her, that's great, but KEXP can do better than rehashing tired sounds.
