Paramore - After Laughter

Black or White Marble Vinyl

Released by WEA/Fueled by Ramen

The eagerly awaited fifth album from the ever-brilliant Paramore. Following up from 2013's self-titled record, the album sees the return of drummer Zac Farro after leaving in 2010. Lead single Hard Times offers us a more tropical and electro-pop tinged sound in comparison to previous albums, but it is still the same instantly recognisable and irresistibly infectious Paramore. Paramore’s greatest feat here is in their pursuit of lightness. Successfully nailing pop songs is a steep challenge, but Paramore have made it look easy, channeling an energy of relief, exasperation, and sheer happiness to be back. - Variety
