Worriers are a band from Brooklyn, New York, led by songwriter Lauren Denitzio. They’ve toured with acts like John K Samson, Against Me!, Julien Baker, Anti Flag, The Wonder Years, and more. Worriers’ debut album “Imaginary Life” was produced by Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! .
Over the last decade or so, the Brooklyn-based outfit Worriers has served as a vehicle of catharsis. Lead Lauren Denitzio uses the project to negotiate the tangled cruelties of contemporary society, attempts to transform despair into defiance. The style culminated with “Warm Blanket”, a home recorded album released this past April which represented in something of a sea change. Because after years of trying to make the band work, Denitzio embraced the notion that Worriers was in fact a solo project. Suddenly the expectations and preconceptions folded into being a band member were evaporated. As they describe it: “I realized I could write whatever I wanted.”
Only the record was evidently not the culmination of the project, for some short months later Denitzio is back with “Trust Your Gut”, a brand new full-length on Ernest Jenning Record Co. which rides the wave of this newfound freedom to further the Worriers style. Not that the record is entirely solo, with a studio band featuring Atom Willard (Against Me!, Social Distortion), Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady), Frank Piegaro and Allegra Anka (Cayetana) bringing to life a triumphant sound typified by the title track and lead single. A song which leans headlong into the spirit of freedom and self-discovery, shaking off the nagging doubts and second guesses with its building momentum.
