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 |
| Head Like a Kite fills my head like, well… a kite. A crazy indie electro psych pop groove kite, that swoops and spins around my mind. Dynamic and melodic guitar-filled songs push alongside bright dream-pop movements, but without falling asleep. These are effect-happy bursts of sadness and joy that shoot out all sparkled and shimmery against a backdrop of musical solidity. A project created by Sushirobo's Dave Einmo, with some great help from Asya Smoosh, Graig Markel, and others—and of course his partner in Kite crime, Trent Moorman. There are similarities to the aforementioned Sushirobo, but the songs have a more experimental feel—a more electronic, almost trip-hopped groove with sound bites and sampled sounds mixing with the pop perfect guitarisms. - Big Takeover |
