Music reviews. CD reviews. Critically hip!

Seattle will never have a lack of musical entertainers. The music capital of the northwest cranks out bands and musicians so fast, it’s hard to keep track, let alone, listen to them all. Head Like a Kite has risen from the pile. On his second album, David Einmo has gone forward in his quest for musical nirvana.

Einmo’s first album Random Portraits of the Home Movie simply mashed up pure indie rock with a few synthesizers and called it a day. On his second album, David crafted a true electronic rock album. Brian Deck of Modest Mouse and Iron &Wine fame fine tuned this album churned out by Einmo and his long list of friends from bands such as The Long Winters, Smush, and Radio 4. The overall feel of the album is very eclectic as it starts saying, “the following ideas have come to us from the great thinkers of the ages...”, burns up the dance floor with tracks like We Were So Entangled, and uses tiny sample tracks from all over the world to build an amalgam of sound.

Overall, There is Loud Laughter Everywhere is an experience in listening enjoyment. Every time this album spins, new sounds and snippets emit themselves through your speakers. If this is the direction Head Like a Kite is taking, please follow in a single file line dancing all the way.

Must Listen: We Were So Entangled and Daydream Vacation
