Oakland’s Naked Roommate have been slinking around the Bay Area lighting up stages, shaking asses and confounding listeners 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 via UK label Upset! The Rhythm and Trouble In Mind. 2024 finds the lineup expanded even further to incorporate the horn section of Geoff Saba and Jeanne Oss on tenor & alto saxophones as well as percussion and marimba as the band readies their sophomore effort, the dizzyingly ecstatic Pass The Loofah. Recorded by members Andy Jordan and Mig Zamora from 2021-2023 as time and restrictions allowed, Pass The Loofah retains the wild energy of their debut, but leans into the rhythmic throbs perpetuated by forbears like Kid Creole and The Coconuts, Lizzy Mercier Descloux and ESG; the signature sound of UK’s On-U Sound and NYC’s 99 Records, but with a decidedly West Coast irreverence and a knack for absurdist exposition. Make no mistake, this is music designed to make your body MOVE and Naked Roommate won’t stop until they’ve made sure every ass is shook.
