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 on Brooklyn indie label Mtn. Laurel Recording Co., 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 songwriting reflects on their diasporic displacement, and interplays their mercurial childhood with the physical media and television that got them through it. The songs are elevated by bandmembers 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.
