Remove ads

"Falling and Laughing" is the debut single by Scottish post-punk band Orange Juice. It was the first single released by the independent rock label Postcard Records. "Falling and Laughing" marked a new shift of the post-punk sound in general by using themes that were not normally used in the genre, such as love and innocence. It also had a brighter sound, contrasting with the music that their contemporaries (including Joy Division and Echo & the Bunnymen) were making at the time, while maintaining its roots in the experimentalism of the genre.[2]
