MH-259 Head Like A Kite - There Is Loud Laughter Everywhere  There Is Loud Laughter Everywhere, Head Like A Kite’s second full-length album, and first for Mush, is an expert blend of electronic rock production and pure pop-songcraft built on a bed of pillaged found-sound from cities the band visited on their 2006 US tour. No stranger to sharing the stage with big names on national and international turf, ringmaster Dave Einmo has assembled some of Seattle’s finest for the album including members of The Long Winters, Smoosh, Radio 4, Crooked Fingers, and Preston School Of Industry. Whether it be guest vocals from Asya Smoosh and Graig Markel, added inspiration from touring drummer Trent Moorman, or the production of Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine) each track is flavored with the perfect additions to the epic songwriting and big-beat electronic production that is Head Like A Kite’s forte. There Is Loud Laughter Everywhere strikes the balance between art and craft and is the finest sonic road-trip in the Mush catalog. |

| Reviews Summary |
| Possibly the best release out of the Northwest this year - KEXP / A true genre-twisted party album that appropriately captures the sounds of an eclectic America - Urb / The dreamy soundtrack to your imaginary trip into space - The Stranger / Deserves a lot of indie play - Pop Matters / Friskiness is refreshing – AP |
| K-the-I??? teams up with Thavius Beck, who after working on the Niggy Tardust album with Saul Williams and Trent Reznor, set his sights on producing K’s album, mixing his conscious lyricism with futuristic beats to create what I can only describe as a masterpiece. K speaks on his life lessons and experiences so expect nothing short of amazing. Make sure you listen closely because I can guarantee that you will gain a deeper understanding of the world after hearing this. Be on the look out on Nov. 4th. The album features a stellar line-up of guest MCs as High Priest of a newly reunited Antipop Consortium, Busdriver, Subtitle, Nocando, Vyle, and Mestizo all drop in. Thavius Beck even leaves the producer’s desk and steps in front of the mic for a track. - Deftune |
