about

“Laugh Up,” the second single from Jimi Prasad Orchestra’s Raw Tapes debut album “Help With Your Heart,” has danger bubbling beneath the surface. The song is built upon a cloud of keyboards, repeating a simple melody until it naturally shapeshifts. Avishai Cohen’s clarion trumpet tone pierces the mist. Multi-instrumentalist Jimi Prasad is credited with “haunting vibes,” and while it’s unclear whether he arranged the foreboding string section, added the synthesizer echo or simply sat in the studio channeling a spirit, his presence is felt here. “This song was a really tough nut to crack, but when we did, it cracked us open as well,” says Cohen. “Laugh Up” lives up to its name, a laugh with some sinister undertones that make this track all the more compelling.
