Laying Demons to Rest is a 2023 live album by English guitarist Fred Frith and Portuguese trumpeter Susana Santos Silva.

[2] Jan Granlie wrote in a review of the album at the Norwegian website salt peanuts* that Laying Demons to Rest is an "extremely exciting, creative and beautiful record" (ytterst spennende, kreativt og fin plate).

[3] A review of Laying Demons to Rest in Avant Music News stated that "despite generational, cultural, and geographic divides" between Frith and Santos Silva, they have produced an unexpected and "strangely cohesive yet aleatoric [album], one that easily stands up to multiple listens.

"[4] The review said where the pair excels is when they "abandon all conventional notions of music and ... generate sounds", adding that "[t]heir dialogs gently push one another not to do more or less, but to create.

[1] The review stated that the album's title "really captures the atmosphere", adding that Tim Hodgkinson's "very evocative" liner notes called it "A laying to rest, an exorcism, a healing".
