Cook Craig’s 2017 follow up to Cosmic Blip, Laugh About Life, is an album that explored new territory for him aesthetically, moving away from a reverb drenched psych styling to a more direct, focused and dry approach. More tight and succinct in its delivery, the songs were short, snappy and kooky. Still present were interludes peppered throughout the record, however this time they delved into a whole other sphere entirely, sounding like something from a nostalgic other-worldly toy box, bouncing between the songs like a slow paced game of pong. These ‘Acts’ set the mood for the preceding songs, as the album unfolds into a melodious and symphonic play of sorts. Laugh About Life is a humorous and jovial musical campaign constantly marching to an abrupt and tragic end.
