Laugh Track: Limited Black Vinyl LP

The Laugh Track is a delightful surprise, serving as a companion to The National's April release, First Two Pages of Frankenstein. It's the band's most unrestrained and collaborative album in years. If Frankenstein rebuilt trust among group members after over 20 years together, the lively and exploratory Laugh Track is a result of that trust and a new statement of intent. The National honed most of this material during live tour performances and captured those energetic versions in impromptu sessions at producer Tucker Martine’s Portland studio. Just two nights later in Vancouver, the nearly eight - minute album closer “Smoke Detector” was recorded during soundcheck. This album brims with spontaneity and vintage rock energy, perfectly complementing the more introspective songs on its predecessor.

To enjoy this album, simply place the black vinyl LP on your turntable. Make sure the turntable is clean and in good working condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. After use, store the LP in its protective sleeve to prevent scratches. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality over time. And most importantly, just sit back and let the music of The National transport you.
