Laugh Track (CD)
The National
Amoeba Review
The National's Laugh Track is one of the band's best and most brilliant records to date. Fans of the band perhaps won't be surprised to learn that it's emotionally devastating in the most hurts-so-good way: taken in combination with the raw, all-too-relatable lyrics, the aching strings used through the album convey enough unfulfilled longing to make you stop what you're doing, sigh meaningfully, and stare forlornly into the middle distance. Fortunately, Laugh Track is an ultimately cathartic listen. Featuring excellent guest appearances from Bon Iver, Rosanne Cash, and Phoebe Bridgers, it's no exaggeration to say this LP is a masterpiece.
