Laughing Cats’ latest single, “Jerk,” is more than just a song; it’s a time capsule and a fresh take all at once. Lauren Schiff and Tony Fredianelli craft a sound that’s rooted in their love for rock’s golden eras, especially the 60s and 80s, yet their music is unmistakably modern. Together, they create a synergy that appeals to nostalgia without compromising contemporary relevance.
The single opens with a catchy, guitar-driven intro that is undeniably reminiscent of classic rock, instantly evoking images of crowded music venues and vibrant summer nights. Tony’s guitar work shines, intertwining influences from The Troggs and New Order with a crisp, modern twist. It’s clear that Laughing Cats draws deeply from their influences but injects enough originality to make it their own.
Lauren’s lyrics on “Jerk” delve into themes of growth, with her storytelling prowess giving the song a sense of emotional depth. Her vocal delivery balances introspection with a playful edge, letting listeners feel the raw honesty of the song. It’s not every day that a modern rock band can convey both vulnerability and strength in a single track, but Laughing Cats achieves just that.
Initially envisioned as a track sung by a male voice, “Jerk” nevertheless translates seamlessly to Lauren’s perspective, carrying a universal resonance that makes it accessible to all. The song’s story stems from real-life reflections on relationships and personal change. This approach gives the track a relatable narrative that many listeners will recognize from their own experiences.
Musically, “Jerk” holds a subtle complexity. While the song is catchy and upbeat, careful listeners will notice how it layers instruments and vocals to build momentum, giving it a sense of urgency. Tony’s skillful arrangement brings out the best in Lauren’s voice, emphasizing key moments and pulling back when needed, creating a dynamic listening experience.
With, Funny Money, on the horizon, Laughing Cats is setting a strong foundation for what promises to be a remarkable debut album. As “Jerk” showcases, this duo is unafraid to experiment while respecting the genres they cherish. It’s rare to find a band that celebrates rock’s past with such finesse and paves the way forward with such originality.
