Sam Jayne initially made his mark in 1994 with the K Records debut (and swan song) of Lync, a short-lived, Olympia-based punk trio still fetishized by underground-music aficionados. An appearance on Beck's One Foot in the Grave that same year may have somewhat increased Jayne's profile, but it was really the subsequent formation of Love as Laughter that established him as a gifted songwriter with a fondness for wry, intelligent lyrics and chaotic, distorted guitar.

The Super Natural Sessions was recorded by "Natural" Miguel Mendez (of Dios) in NYC in 2003 and 2004, and features Jayne solo style on 12 original and not so original songs. Sam recently appeared on Saturday Night Live with Modest Mouse and played the prestigious All Tomorrow's Parties festival accompanied by J. Mascis. His band Love as Laughter is currently recording an album for Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock's Glacial Pace imprint.
