What’s so good?

If you’ve ever walked past a group of guys harmonizing on a New York street corner, there’s a pretty good chance it was LAUNDRY DAY. 

The members include Jude Ciulla Lipkin, Sawyer Nunes, Henry Pearl, and Henry Weingartner. Two Henrys – it was fate. Since their debut in 2018, they’ve gained attention for their comedic social media presence, singing a cappella in random spots around the city. Followers finally pressured them enough to release their newest 10-track album EARWORM.

The song that’s been the hardest to get out of my head is “ALIEN.” The vocals are funky backed by retro beats and modern themes, influenced by 90s hip-hop. Each intstrument’s energy is uninterrupted and hard to ignore. These elements on top of the distinct minor chords in the chorus scratches that earworm itch.

Lipkin and Nunes switch off on singing and rapping, picking up where the other left off. They use humor to distract from common anxieties in your 20s. It’s how our generation handles problems: take it up the octave, increase the tempo, and lean into the catchy tune…until you realize you’re singing about extraterrestrials and existentialism.

LAUNDRY DAY raises important questions we should all be asking like, “How does Advil work?” and “How does it know my back aches?”
