New Land Of Talk Video - "Speak To Me Bones"

Took long enough, Lizzie! Stereofaves Land Of Talk finally have a video, for the scorcher "Speak To Me Bones," one of seven awesome songs on the band's awesome, seven-song EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss. Here's what Ms. Powell told Spinner about the clip's conceit:

It's as if the artist gave up on his/her own work. The audience revives the art with the simple act of viewing.
Well then, allow us to revive Land Of Talk; we're still listening to the EP, so how about some new stuff? Bucky the drummer's gone, but the Talk roll on, (hopefully by now) working on a new record. (The trio played the great pre-Applause cut "It's Okay" at CMJ, which we're promised will be on the next effort.) Another EP is perfectly fine, LoT. Just, ya know, soon. We miss you.

Quality, pakman, not quantity. Although I do agree that I would like to hear some new material also.

they certainly played more than the ep's worth of songs when i saw them open for the rosebuds last month (both bands were fantastic). so the songs exist, they just need ot go in the studio and record them.

and while the video isn't great, it reminds me of the low budget vids that you'd see on 120 minutes back when i was a kid. you were so happy to hear good music on mtv you didn't care how good the video was.
