The National - Laugh Track (Exclusive Yellow Translucent - 2LP) - The last track A-side is a bit scratched at the very last seconds. On the chorus of the song "Weird Goodbyes" at the very end it says: My car is creeping - the word creeping, you will only hear "ing"instead "creeping". Only once. Some may not even notice it. It's a minor faulty. I can send a video/audio sample. If any question please ask me before buying or bidding. No returns!
The surprise companion to The National's April release First Two Pages of Frankenstein, Laugh Track is the band's most freewheeling, all-hands-on-deck album in years. If Frankenstein represented a rebuilding of trust between group members after 20+ years together, the vibrant, exploratory Laugh Track is both the product of that faith and a new statement of intent. Reveling in the license to radically upend its creative process, The National honed most of this material in live performances on tour, and captured those invigorated versions in impromptu sessions at producer Tucker Martine’s Portland studio. Two nights later in Vancouver, the nearly eight-minute album closer “Smoke Detector” was recorded during soundcheck, completing a body of work bristling with spontaneity and vintage rock energy that makes a perfect complement to the songs found on its more introspective predecessor.
