On Monday, April 29th, CHIRP welcomes Land of Talk to Schubas!

Indistinct Conversations is Land of Talk’s fourth LP, and the first after the intensely turbulent creation of 2017’s Life After Youth, during which singer and guitarist Elizabeth Powell's father had a massive stroke and Powell contemplated giving up music entirely. 

The new album is a dreamier, more acoustic-driven work than prior Land of Talk releases; it was produced with drummer Mark “Bucky” Wheaton and bass player Chris McCarron in Wheaton’s home studio, and has the intimacy of a private document. The songs were created as a therapeutic space where Powell could retreat from the world.

This process included embracing their identity as a non-binary femme, who uses the pronouns she/they. Powell describes the album’s first single, “Weight of That Weekend,” as “a recognition of having been on the receiving end of a lifetime of sexual coercion, assault, boundary violations, and subsequent gaslighting.” 

That radical self-acceptance, the ability to speak in one’s own voice, is the hallmark of Indistinct Conversations.
