Official Youtube channel for Ben Hopkins
“Laugh Track” is a stream of conscious recounting of every feeling that Hopkins has experienced over the past three years. The music is driving and cacophonic, a quiet melody exploding into a tsunami of guitar thrash that breaks wide open into melancholic hope with bandmate Tsebiyah’s soaring delivery of the truthiest of blows: “I feel so scared that things may never change.” It’s a seven-minute rollercoaster ride that leaves you both energized and spent, wondering what just happened and what’s next?
‘Laugh Track” is the first single off of Hopkins’ forthcoming solo debut album, “I held my breath for a really long time once,” an album about loss and a crisis of optimism.
