In a summer that’s been full of sub-par albums with great tracks that are few and far between, Land Of Talk’s new album Cloak and Cipher is a refreshing mix of original female fronted indie-rock. A week or so ago, I posted “Quarry Hymns”. Here’s the newly released music video for it, hit the link for a download if you didn’t already.

Land of Talk are set to release their second album Cloak and Cipher this Tuesday, August 24th. In celebration, go ahead and preview “Quarry Hymns”, a slow-burning track that does well displaying the growth this band has experienced between this and their last full-length. Cloak and Cipher is decidedly better, make sure you check it out

I let on my fondness of Land of Talk a while back. Since then, they’ve put out a new EP via Saddle-Creek and this video for “It’s Okay” off of they’re full-length Some Are Lakes. Make sure you give them a listen if you haven’t already, or just be completely absolved in this lush video.

XL – A “Welcome Home” Mix

This mix is made for my good friend Ben, who just returned from a 2 year religious sabbatical in Argentina. I promised him I would put together a mix of all the great music he missed out on. The only rule is that any song had to be released between September 2007 – September 2009. The actual mix I’ve created for him is over 70 songs, so this is definitely a summarized version. Check it out, and as always, if you dig a song, support the artist!
