Great 2nd album

"
After a very good but someone jumbled first album, Land of Talk comes back with "Some Are Lakes". This entry is much stronger than the first. Elizabeth Powell sticks with mostly double tracking her voice which appears to be her signature sound. It for the most part works. When it doesn't it usually is because the recording gets a bit too sharp on the ears. The music is much tighter this time around with only a few moments where they get too loose and meander a bit too long before coming back together. Mostly, the music leans on post-punk and rock. One standout is easily the opening track "Yuppie Flu" which has an infectious beat and stabbing guitar. The slow song, "It's Okay" is a haunting song of love lost. Every other song is good with no fillers. I wish other bands could put out a whole album of quality tracks. If they can lean a bit more towards mainstream songwriting such as the title track, "Land of Talk" could easily see some commercial success. Overall I can easily recommend Land of Talk."
