: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Hurts To Laugh marks the ongoing output of Methyl Ethel producer :,
: and multi-instrumentalist Jake WebbÆs restless mind. Time and :
:' again heÆs proven that while thereÆs no distinction between ':
,: music and art, psychologically speaking there is a difference :,
: between feeling and emotion. One is a conscious response to a :
:' set of circumstances, the other is the unconscious conditions ':
,: of our very being that only occasionally surfaces through :,
: feelings. Hurts To Laugh excavates this ambiguous site, implied :
:' by its very title. You can laugh so hard it hurts - pure joy. ':
,: Or laugh despite the pain - despair. These paradoxes run :,
: throughout the EP, as well as everything that came before. :
:' ':
,: 'Majestic AF' stumbles into its bubbling oscillator and analogue :,
: polyrhythms, while a kick-free drumbeat marches right into an :
:' atonal synth melody supporting WebbÆs equally idiosyncratic ':
,: falsetto. :,
: :
:' Hurts To Laugh was recorded at the same time as 2019's Triage ':
,: and both releases feature cover art by Sydney-based artist :,
: Loribelle Spriovski. Triage was Webb's third and final album in :
:' a trilogy of obliquely expressed relationship drama, starting ':
,: with 2015Æs Oh Inhuman Spectacle which features certified ARIA :,
: Gold single 'Twilight Driving'. 2017's Everything Is Forgotten :
:' birthed the sensational single 'Ubu' which is now certified ':
,: ARIA Platinum. :,
: :
:' Methyl Ethel is a project thatÆs the brainchild of a single ':
,: mindùwriter, performer and producer Webbùwhile also being a live :,
: band of five members. It makes music that draws from myriad :
:' influences and a history of new wave and indie rock, while ':
,: sounding like its own thing entirely. Both familiar and alien, :,
: intimate and aloof, you never quite know what youÆre in for, but :
:' the trip is bound to be enchanting. ':
