Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as a surprise companion album to 'First Two Pages of Frankenstein', 'Laugh Track' restores the driving percussion and live-band dynamics that were absent from its predecessor. The record features significant contributions from Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver, culminating in a sweeping, nearly eight-minute jam that highlights their renewed collaborative energy.
