Laugh Track is The National’s latest album, offering a freewheeling and exploratory sound that showcases the band’s trust and creativity after over 20 years together. The album was honed during live performances on tour and captured in impromptu sessions at producer Tucker Martine’s Portland studio. With a vibrant energy and vintage rock feel, Laugh Track complements the introspective songs on the band’s previous release. Featuring an eight-minute album closer recorded during soundcheck, this album is bristling with spontaneity and showcases The National’s new statement of intent.
