 | | Description: | Laughter by Tiny Vipers, released 11 May 2017, includes the following tracks: "Living On A Curve", "The Summing Of Moments" and more.
This version of Laughter comes as a 1xCD. - 2017 release. Since the release of her sophomore album Life On Earth, Seattle-based musician Jesy Fortino has become a civil engineer. While studying at University of Washington to pursue a wholly new life direction, she wrote and recorded Tiny Viper's Laughter. Although it seems like a deviation from the singer-songwriter albums Fortino released on Sub Pop, it continues early works such as Empire Prism, and later instrumentals such as her 2015 contribution to the Ambience series (Box Bedroom Rebels) and her collaborations with Rafael Anton Irisarri and Liz Harris (Mirrorring / Grouper). Though previous works like Hands Across the Void and Life On Earth are collections of songs, just underneath their façade simmers a raw emotional expression that goes beyond words. Laughter is the result of experiments deconstructing pop tropes. Fortino takes inspiration from early electronic pioneers like Florian Fricke of Popol Vuh, as well as the raw experimentation of '80s proto-industrial tape culture. Additionally, she carries the seemingly disparate influences of Slava Tsukerman's Liquid Sky soundtrack and Meredith Monk's exercise in turning the human voice into a spectral instrument. The apprehension that comes along with attempting something new and challenging is captured in the fragile structure of these compositions, which threaten to fall apart almost as soon as they come together.Cover photo by Sean Waple | www.niterant.com

Issued in a gatefold card sleeve."Laughter" is an atmospheric CD by Tiny Vipers, released by the independent label Ba Da Bing. The album unfolds as a meditative journey through minimalist songwriting, intimate vocals and sparse, hypnotic arrangements. With its slow-burning dynamics, "Laughter" invites deep listening: delicate guitar figures, subtle electronic textures and a haunting voice create a space between folk, ambient and experimental pop. The songs evolve patiently, often building from near-silence into emotionally powerful passages, making this recording ideal for late-night listening, focused work or quiet reflection. Lyrically, "Laughter" moves in poetic fragments rather than linear storytelling, touching on themes of memory, distance and inner transformation. The production is intentionally understated, putting every breath and nuance at the centre and giving the album a timeless, almost cinematic character.
