It looks like this week will see NYC becoming the land of Land of Talk, as the Montreal-based trio shows up to wreak havoc in the area for three nights, starting tomorrow. If you're not familiar with this band yet, then you probably don't read music blogs (that certainly isn't a fault). Though Brooklyn Vegan has been talking about this group for some time now, the release of their ep Applause Cheer Boo Hiss has gotten many more people talking about them. There must be something in that Canadian water that makes the girls sing in hushed, cracking soothing voices layered with delay - it's familiar territory for fans of Broken Social Scene or Metric, though the first track, "Speak to Me Bones" shimmies and swaggers like the Gossip. The danciness isn't too prevalent (or tiresome) and things tend to take a broader, poppier tone for most of the 7 tracks. I'm as wary as anyone of bands bands known primarily for the blogs that love them, but this is certainly an exception.

The first of their shows is tomorrow, Tuesday night, at Union Hall. Bonus! Opening this show? The Muggabears [Robotinev here]. You couldn't ask for a more perfect combination of venue and fine bands and awesome people. If you're coming to this DO NOT SHOW UP LATE!

Tuesday - Union Hall - Brooklyn, NY w/the Muggabears
Wednesday - Maxwell's - Hoboken, NJ w/Lady Radiator + Butterfly Explosion
Thursday - Mercury Lounge - NYC, NY w/Mahogany, Vampire Weekend, Balun
