Nara's Room

Inside Nara’s Room, one might find inflatable furniture reflecting the blue light of a silver box television, a DVD icon hypnotically bouncing from one corner of the screen to the next. The noisy pop-rock quartet Nara’s Room, led by songwriter Nara Avakian (they/them), became known for their energetic and immersive live sets around New York. Following up their 2024 debut Glassy star, Nara’s Room use their new album Tearless, thoughtless to explore clever sampling, trip-hop influence, and a Y2K pop production style that feels as futuristic as it does nostalgic. Avakian’s ruminations are elevated by band members Ethan Nash (bass), Will Fisher (ambient duty, production), and Brendan Jones (drums) — who wave a sonic wand that covers the music in metallic sparkles and digital ice. Beneath the chrome, plastic, and pixels lie the vulnerability of Avakian’s childhood, rooted in mercurial intensity, family estrangement, and the histories of Armenian diasporic displacement that color their whole existence. They reflect on Tearless, thoughtless as a musical memoir of resilience, and an homage to the physical media and television that offered a means of escape, a safe place to cope with their difficulties. https://narasroom.com https://narasroom.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/narasroom/ narasroom@gmail.com for inquiries
