Law of Nature finds Laughing Clowns at their most assured and emotionally vivid, blending wiry post-punk guitars with Louise Elliott’s keening saxophone and Jeffrey Wegener’s explosive, dancing drums. Ed Kuepper’s songs here feel both intimate and widescreen: “Eternally Yours” swells and sighs, “Written in Exile” moves with a stately, aching grace, and “As Your Bridges Burn Behind You” coils tension into melody. The record’s groove is distinctive—restless, elastic, and full of air—so the band’s adventurous textures never smother the hooks.
What makes the album special is how its raw edges frame real warmth. Kuepper’s chord voicings ring like bells, Elliott’s lines glide and jab, and the rhythm section keeps everything taut yet pliable. It’s music that feels lived-in: reflective without drifting, punchy without bluster. Four decades on, Law of Nature still sounds like a daring, deeply human statement that refuses to choose between beauty and bite.
