Laughing All the While is the second studio album by Echo Orbiter. It was released on Looking Glass Workshop in 2000.[1] Receiving positive reviews, the album has been described as chaotic and orchestral brand of pop reflecting the band's growing creative confidence,[2] and "a wondrous, melody-packed celebration of unfettered creativity."[3] The band has described the process and product as L'art pour l'art in the style of Aestheticism and the Decadent Movement. Following a litany of production and logistical difficulties with creating and releasing the album, along with its lyrical themes, the album was viewed as a reflection of the ills of insanity.[4]
