Kamran Khan’s Fake Laugh project is pretty much unmatched in the woozy, UK-based romantic stakes. On his latest EP Freely, he coos and cuddles up with sunny-side-up notions for 15 dreamy minutes. Each song was recorded this summer, amidst surprise heatwaves and the muggiest conditions this side of the 21st century. Maybe the heat’s gone to his head, because on “Wouldn’t Bother” his typically upbeat musings take a severe emotional turn.
Freely is available now as a 100-edition cassette.
