New Grass

Hollis and Friese-Greene wrote it. Friese-Greene produced Laughing Stock with Phill Brown engineering at Wessex Sound Studios in London, recorded from September 1990 to April 1991. Wikipedia describes the piece as Talk Talk as a purely placid and lovely proposition, electric organ and guitar circling Lee Harris's steady drumming. The single came out on October 28, 1991 between "After the Flood (Outtake)" on October 7 and "Ascension Day" on November 25; it reached 107 on the UK singles chart, though Wikipedia's release text elsewhere says no official singles were released, and we could not verify the label or catalog number. MusicBrainz lists five recordings of the song, at 9:46, 9:40, 9:36, 9:38 and 9:42, so we cannot say which our upload is. We found no comment from Hollis on it, no video, covers or samples, and the band did not tour after 1986.
