I found myself singing along to the chorus the very first time I listened to Spooky Mansion’s “Real Jerk," the new single from the Bay Area transplants who have found asylum in L.A. For the video’s release, the soulful garage-rock five-piece partnered with French artist Bleu Garou, pairing intricate and comical cartoons with a story of misplaced feelings in a world filled with irrational choices. “Misunderstood/ What we meant when we said taking a break, I thought we could be free,” vocalist Grayson Converse sings, which sounds like a sentence taken straight from the Friends episode “The One Where Ross And Rachel Take A Break."
Spooky Mansion releases their debut album, That’s Me! on October 28th, so stay tuned. Kayla Hay
