Moaning is putting out their sophomore album Uneasy Laughter on Sub Pop Records this month. There is a UK white vinyl and a Clear Splatter vinyl with blue and orange, fitting for the album. Get a copy. Here’s the UK & EU link for the white vinyl.
Blurb from Sub Pop:
Solomon admits Uneasy Laughter could have gone in quite another direction had he not gotten sober and educated himself on such core subjects as gender and mental health. âI did a lot of reading in the tour van â authors like bell hooks, Mark Fisher, and Alain de Botton, all really inspired me. I donât want to be the person who influences young people to go get high and become cliche tragic artists,â he says. âWhat Iâd rather convey to people is that theyâre not alone in what they think and how they feel. âEgoâ specifically and the album overall is about those themes â letting go of your bullshit so you can help other people and be present.â
âWe want to be part of a community,â he adds. âI wrote online about being sober for a year, and I had kids from all over writing and asking for advice. One of them said, âFor the first time I can remember, I didnât drink last night.â I thought, for once, maybe we did something besides sell a record. Thatâs a win. Thatâs incredibly exciting.â
