Land of Talk



"All My Friends" is a really tremendous song and, had it had been performed by Broken Social Scene (which it very much could have), it would have likely shown up on my radar a long time ago. It does a great job of capturing that sort of jam session energy that lets the listener feel like he or she is privy to something really exciting and spontaneous. The playing is just loose enough and the pop-polish is just unpolished enough to sell the point. It's a lot of fun. The distorted vocals are especially well used here. It's slight enough to never impede on Powell's ability to showcase her range and instead works to give her voice that honest low-fi sound, something similar to the charm of a great band playing through a cheap PA or your favorite song muddled by shitty car speakers.
