Laughing Cats Release “Jerk” – A Relatable Anthem of Growth and Accountability

Laughing Cats are Lauren Schiff and Tony Fredianelli, an emerging duo into the consciousness of listeners and fans alike with their newest single Jerk, released as part of their waterfall-style album Funny Money. Coming off the success of their first single GYB, Jerk is a fresh plunge into human vulnerability and self-awareness, shrouded in a nostalgic sound of the 80s and 90s.

Rooted in the personal but universally relatable, Jerk contemplates those moments whereby we realize our own flaws in relationships and work to be better. Penned by Lauren after observing the effort of a friend who sought reconciliation, it’s a song-anthem in self-reflection and responsibility. It resonates with anyone who has experienced the challenge of admitting fault and committing to personal growth.

The track is a real blend of influences from decades past, with echoes of New Order, Tears for Fears, and The Cure firmly intertwined in its fabric. These sonic nods meet modern storytelling to create a unique listen that’s introspective as it is catchy.

Tony Fredianelli, formerly from Third Eye Blind, brings a wealth of musical knowledge to the project, while Lauren Schiff’s background in acting and songwriting fleshes out the storytelling. Together, they craft a style that feels both fresh and familiar.

Jerk” is not just a song; it’s a reminder that in admitting our flaws lies the beginning of an effort toward better contact. Laughing Cats invites us into this journey of growth and reconciliation, melody by melody.
