If you wanted a song about the crazy situation we’re in right now, then this might be the one you’re looking for. Themed on the consumer economy and the extinction of species, meat industry practices, and lots more, Additional Animals from Laptop has it all. The electro music project of Jesse Hartman, founder of the band Sammy, with releases on Geffen and Fire, Laptop takes Hartman to the other end of his field. His project has been in sleep mode for a while, that is until a recent TikTok video went viral and received over 4 million views. Teaming up with Grammy-winning producer Mario McNulty, Jesse Hartman and his 19-year-old son Charlie, as the newest member, bring Additional Animals.

Seaside sounds and plucking notes begin the piece before a synthesiser tone takes the lead. A major key embellishes the chord structure as vocals join the flow. Quick vocal lines bounce along the bars with a happy-go-lucky energy that’s a lot of fun. The music resonates between electronic beats and synthesiser sounds along the melodic ukulele twang that launches us into holiday sensations. A barrage of instrumentation unleashes as horns and trumpets add yet more texture to the thick and sweet, soft mix of sounds. Pop music style melodies fit together with a clever composition that flies in the face of standard bangers.
