Naked Roommate Release New Single/Video "Fight Flight"

“Fight Flight”s funky horn stabs and Amber Sermeno’s slinky vocals swoon over Numan-esque synth squiggles that are fortified & funkified toward the dance floor.

About

Naked Roommate have been slinking around the Bay Area since 2018, when the group—originally just the duo of real-life partners Andy Jordan and Amber Sermeno (both formerly of The World)—self-released a cassette of demos (2018’s “Naked Roommate”). Members Michael “Mig” Zamora and Alejandra Alcala (Blues Lawyer) joined soon after to augment the sound and live band with their proper full-length album “Do The Duvet”, co-released in September of 2020. 2024 finds the lineup expanded even further to incorporate the horn section of Geoff Saba and Jeanne Oss on tenor and alto saxophones, as well as percussion and marimba.

Musically, the band freely incorporates elements of the dancier side of post-punk (think A Certain Ratio or Liquid Liquid) as well as disco, funk, & house music.
