Cloak and Cipher

Land of Talk's follow up to their critically adored 2008 debut LP Some Are Lakes, Cloak and Cipher marks an electric step forward for the band musically and sonically, establishing vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Elizabeth Powell as one of Canada's most exciting new musical voices. The New York Times raved in a live review, "[Powell] proved herself a strong guitarist and a calmly arresting lead singer She made a virtue of directness and brevity, letting small details speak for themselves."
