Adam Haworth Stephens of Two Gallants stepped out on his own with the release of We Live On Cliffs last month on Saddle Creek. After streaming songs on his myspace for a couple weeks I finally got my ears on the whole record yesterday. You can take a listen to some of the songs from the album and check him out on the road with the Felice Brothers through November.

Last year Land of Talk released one of my favorite records, Applause Cheer Boo Hiss. The group that calls Montreal home, readies the release of Some Are Lakes via Saddle Creek on October 7th. The new record receives a helping hand from Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon who recorded nine tracks in “an old converted church outside of Montreal” (wonder who that belongs to) and another at his parents home in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

The band/label have made available the title track as a free and legal MP3 download below. Get on that!

Madison fans will want to get familiar with all things Land of Talk as they’re holding down opening duties for the upcoming Broken Social Scene show at UW’s Memorial Union Theater on Saturday, October 11th.
