Fake Laugh is the recording project of London based Berlin native Kamran Khan. Now 23, Kamran started writing songs at age 12 while living in Burgess Hill, West Sussex. After moving to London to study philosophy, he started experimenting with home recording. Early recordings were mostly covers of artists whose influence can still be heard in his sound today, such as The Beach Boys, Everly Brothers and The Beatles. After witnessing the emergence of bedroom producers, Kamran decided to adopt the DIY approach with his own songs. His initial aim was to write simple, melodic and carefree songs.
Fake Laugh followed a single release through Art is Hard in 2013 with several self-released tracks in 2014. Fierce Panda released the single ‘Kinda Girl’ in January 2015. Since their first show opening for Parquet Courts, Fake Laugh have supported the likes of Ducktails, Gengahr, Girlpool and Ride, among others. 2016 promises to be an exciting year for Fake Laugh, with a new single slated for release in January and Kamran currently finishing work on a debut album.
