If that’s my legacy, I’m good,” says Powell. The urgent and raging Applause Cheer Boo Hiss opener “Speak to Me Bones” is also out today alongside a stripped-back acoustic version–one of five L'Aventure Acoustique songs mixed\/engineered by Justin Vernon (who would go on to produce and play guitar on Land of Talk’s debut full length, Some Are Lakes, the following year). “[Fugazi’s] ‘Smallpox Champion’ is a song that definitely inspired the outro to ‘Speak to Me Bones,’ which is a song that I would love to play live again, especially because I wrote it long before MeToo, and since the MeToo movement a lot of people have been naming their abusers, and the abuse of powers in the music industry,” Powell explains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Little Independent Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50442742825291,"sku":"2204308","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/lbj-348_5x5_300dpiRGB_0e672016_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727003913"},{"product_id":"the-eps-3","title":"The Eps","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLand Of Talk\u003c\/strong\u003e emerged from the ethereal landscapes of mid-aughts Canadian indie rock with their 2006 debut \u003cem\u003eApplause Cheer Boo Hiss\u003c\/em\u003e.
