Laughing Hands were an Australian experimental music group active primarily in the early 1980s, known for their innovative blend of electronic soundscapes, post-punk textures, and avant-garde improvisation. Formed in Melbourne, the group’s work combined tape manipulation, ambient atmospheres, and rhythmic minimalism, creating immersive sonic environments ahead of their time. Their releases, including *Dog Photos* (1981), earned them recognition within underground and experimental music circles for their boundary-pushing approach and enduring influence on Australia’s electronic and industrial music scenes.
