Son of Laughter — “No Story is Over” Album Review 4.5 Overall Score Label:Independent For Fans Of:Paul Simon, The Orchardist We Like:“The Meal We Could Not Make” Son of Laughter — “No Story is Over” Album Review Matt Conner July 6, 2018 Son of Laughter No Story is Over (Independent) As Chris Slaten sings, “You’re killing me with categories” on “Flesh and Bone,” it’s not only a timely cultural description of our divided states. It’s also true of the music. Son of Laughter’s (Slaten’s musical moniker) is impossible to pin down, a rich tapestry of orchestration surrounding dense lyrical imagery. No Story Is Over is the indie singer-songwriter’s most recent release, a heartening and heartbreaking eight-song cycle filled with our “broken histories” and God’s lavish grace. Picture Spirit-filled, imaginative storytelling set within inventive song structures that linger long past the album fades. –Matt Conner Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
