Laugh Track is the tenth studio album from American indie rock band the National. The surprise album was released on September 18, 2023, having been announced only days prior.[4] The album's material was mostly written and recorded alongside the band's earlier 2023 album, First Two Pages of Frankenstein,[5] with several songs being re-recorded at producer Tucker Martine's studio after honing their arrangements while on tour in 2023.[2] Preceded by the singles, "Weird Goodbyes", "Alphabet City" and "Space Invader", the album features guest vocal appearances from Justin Vernon, Phoebe Bridgers and Rosanne Cash.[6] Laugh Track has received positive reviews from critics.
