This week, LG chats with singer, songwriter, and guitarist Lizzie Powell of the Canadian indie rock band Land of Talk, from Montreal, Quebec, in Queen of S-Mountain's first international episode! In part one, they discuss Canada's current and former arts funding (and the funding delegated to bands), recording a demo, songwriting, mental health, and the ever-persistent question "What's your song about?"
