The Laughing “Band of the Week” on Ear Farm

August 25, 2008

Congrats to the Laughing for being EarFarm’s Band of the Week! After hearing Jungle Matt at EarFarm explains :“I was enthralled… magnetically drawn to the sounds, beats, rhythms, and mindset of the band jumping out of my speakers. Suddenly, here I was confronted with a band who captures the smiling mope of Robert Smith, mixes it with heavy doses of primal thunder, and then turns late-career Talking Heads jungle love inside-out. In fifteen short minutes I’d been thumped in the face by pop songs that got down, and weirded out, while also managing to preserve and cultivate melodies and hooks that were sure to last a little longer. I kept going back for more. The ‘repeat all’ button was even employed (rare).”

The website, who has previously featured the Walkmen, Grizzly Bear, and Takka Takka goes on to conduct a GREAT interview with the Laughing that is a must read.  Check it all out HERE.
