Laughing Cats ‘Jerk’ – out now!
When you hear Laughing Cats’ new single ‘Jerk’, it’s impossible not to feel like you’ve just stepped into a time machine. The duo’s blend of 1960s nostalgia, ’80s energy, and ’90s vibes immediately conjures the feeling of pre-Y2K music—yet there’s a fresh innovation in their sound that’s undeniably their own. Comprising of Tony Fredianelli, a seasoned rock veteran from Third Eye Blind, and Lauren Schiff, a multifaceted performer with off-Broadway roots, Laughing Cats deliver a track that’s both catchy and deeply emotional.
‘Jerk’ is a high-octane pop-rock song that packs a punch, with Fredianelli’s signature guitar hooks and Schiff’s powerful vocal delivery creating a perfect musical storm. The track captures the messy beauty of love, painting the subject as both a captivating and frustrating experience. Schiff’s voice, full of theatrical emotion, elevates the song from a simple breakup anthem to a full narrative experience, pulling listeners into a story that feels relatable yet entirely cinematic.
The genius of ‘Jerk’ lies in its ability to incorporate diverse influences while still sounding modern. You’ll hear touches of The Beatles’ infectious harmonies and New Order’s iconic synth-driven hooks, but there’s also a rawness and energy that recalls the alternative rock scene of the late ’90s. It’s a genre-blending marvel that leaves you eager to hear more from Laughing Cats, who are set to release their debut album, Funny Money, soon.
In short, ‘Jerk’ is a dynamic track that’ll make you dance, reflect, and repeat—Laughing Cats have created something timeless, and this is only the beginning.
