Life In Seven Dreams is the seventh album in seven years from Laughing Stock. 

 

Containing seven songs that fit together as a suite, the production of the album has been long and difficult for all members of the band (Jan Erik Kirkevold Nilsen, Håvard Enge and Jan Mikael Sørensen), due to personal struggles.

 

By turns beautiful and dark, the album is a fitting testament to a bruising year.

 

The songs are bound together by a recitation of the poem ‘A dream within a dream’ by Edgar Allan Poe (read by Colin Bass of Camel). 

 

Tim Bowness, Bjørnar Kristiansen (of doom metal band Dwaal) and Jazz trumpeter Terje Johannesen also appear. 

 

Produced and mixed by Jan Mikael Sørensen. Mastered by Jacob Holm-Lupo. Artwork by Jan Erik Kirkevold Nilsen.

 

Vinyl edition.
