The answer is \u003ci\u003eUneasy Laughter\u003c\/i\u003e, the sensational second Sub Pop release from Los Angeles-based Moaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVocalist \/ guitarist Sean Solomon, bassist \/ keyboardist Pascal Stevenson and drummer Andrew MacKelvie have been friends and co-conspirators amid the fertile L.A. DIY scene for more than a decade. They are also immersed in other creative pursuits — Solomon is a noted illustrator, art director and animator, while Stevenson and MacKelvie have played or worked behind the boards with acts such as Cherry Glazerr, Sasami and Surf Curse. On \u003ci\u003eUneasy Laughter\u003c\/i\u003e, they’ve tackled challenges both personal and universal the only way they know how: by talking about how they’re feeling and channeling those emotions directly into their music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoaning’s 2018’s self-titled Sub Pop debut featured songs mostly written in practice or brought in already complete by individual band members. It garnered acclaim from Pitchfork, Stereogum and Los Angeles Times, who observed, “Moaning craft anxious music for an increasingly nervous local scene.” But \u003ci\u003eUneasy Laughter\u003c\/i\u003e is a collaborative breakthrough which significantly brightens Moaning’s once claustrophobic sound, again abetted by producer \/ engineer Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, Bloc Party, Melvins). The trio points to first single \u003ci\u003eEgo\u003c\/i\u003e, which features a costume-heavy video directed by Ambar Navarro, as an embodiment of this evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Good Vibes Neighbourhood Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57152055935358,"sku":"sp1342","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/4032\/2968\/files\/49fafe75-487a-496f-97a2-cd69cdce66c0_thumbnail_4096.webp?v=1774191154","url":"https:\/\/goodvibesrecords.co\/products\/moaning-uneasy-laughter-lp","provider":"Good Vibes Neighbourhood Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
