Lesser Jay kicks off 2025 with Alarm Clock Song, an indie-pop gem that blends infectious melodies, wry humor, and pulsing electronic energy. With his signature mix of charm and self-deprecation, LJ turns a universal struggle—the battle between motivation and inertia—into an anthem that’s as relatable as it is euphoric.
From the opening moments, a pulsating synth line breathes life into the track, setting the stage for LJ’s effortlessly charismatic delivery. His knack for crafting catchy hooks meets an electrifying indie-pop soundscape, striking a balance between playfulness and emotional depth. It’s a song about those mornings when you want to get up, be productive, and enjoy life, but somehow, the gravitational pull of your bed feels impossible to resist. “I live in Colorado where there are lots of beautiful walks and hikes close by,” LJ explains. “I imagined a scenario where I planned to meet a friend in the morning for a walk (my friend Lucas, who’s in the music video), and I’m fighting the urge to just cancel and go back to sleep, even though I actually do want to hang out and I know we’ll have fun.”
LJ’s background in classical composing gives Alarm Clock Song a unique edge, allowing him to push sonic boundaries while keeping his indie-electronic foundations irresistibly accessible. Since his 2024 debut, he’s built a reputation for surreal, introspective lyricism and energetic live-looping performances, and with this latest release, he continues to prove why he’s one to watch in 2025.
A witty, danceable reflection on modern-day inertia, Alarm Clock Song captures the absurdity of our everyday struggles with humor and heart. Lesser Jay isn’t just making indie-pop—he’s making indie-pop that sticks with you.
