Composer and songwriter Julia Holter shares "The Laugh Is In The Eye", which sprung from sessions for latest album Something In The Room She Moves.

The Los Angeles-based artist says the song title was directly lifted from previous single "Spinning". Naturally, "The Laugh Is In The Eye" unfolds like its nocturnal counterpart, its oscillating cadence evaporating in a more free-form, melodic sequence.

Listen below:

Julia Holter had the following to say about the track:

“‘The Laugh Is in the Eyes’ came out of the Something in the Room She Moves writing sessions and it shares that album’s devotion to transformation and bodily senses. There’s a loopy restlessness, a rhythmic 5ness alongside a 4ness, a circle and a square. Like in the song ‘Spinning,’ a surprise awakening awaits in the state of ‘night’—from stagnancy to the anticipation of flowers, flutes, feeling.”
