Hailing from Montreal, former Paste Band of the Week Land of Talk will finally release their 7-song mini-album stateside on March 20 via The Rebel Group. Applause Cheer Boo Hiss was first released in Canada in May 2006, but thanks to some fervent blogging and a handful of shows in New York City, the record quickly became one of the most talked about debuts of the year, both in America and in the Great White North.
In support of the new release, Land of Talk will hit the road with Menomena and Field Music for a dozen dates in late March, beginning with an appearance at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.
