NATUREBOY
Natureboy is the musical project of Sara Kermanshahi, a first generation American of Iranian descent. starkly emotional and strangely evocative, her music weaves modern loops & samples with folk elements to create a haunting synthesis of moody, intelligent, melodic music. Natureboy will appeal to fans of Mazzy Star, Beach House, Cat Power, and Bon Iver. A former member of Seattle's House On A Hill, Sara created Natureboy upon moving to Brooklyn in 2007. The project continues her musical collaboration with Cedar Apffel (Masterface/ House on a Hill) who produced her debut record, which also featured rising drummer Rory OConnor. Natureboy is quickly gaining a fan base of loyal and excited listeners. She's been playing a steady stream of gigs in New York, sharing the stage with a number of esteemed artists such as Magnolia Electric Co., School of Seven Bells, and Marissa Nadler. The band embarked on a 15 date European tour in late 2010, playing cities such as Paris, Berlin, and Copenhagen. Natureboy's live performances are as captivating as her recorded music. Onstage, Sara closes her eyes, curls up her toes, and gives herself completely to the music. Her unique, natural vocal style and skillful guitar playing feels vulnerable and almost threatening. The band builds on the power of her sound with tastefully-woven waves of guitar, synth, bass, and drums. Natureboy's music has been featured in Esopus magazine, on KEXP, on RCRD LBL and was recorded live by NYC Taper. The debut album was included on many best of 2009 lists including Kevchino.com, The Sky Report, and Musicology NYC. She has also been featured in a number of publications like Deli, Wears The Trousers, and Performer. On November 15th, Bleek Records will release Natureboy's debut album for the first time in the U.S. It was originally released in Europe on Own Records in 2010. The band is currently working at Alligator Lady Studios mixing their sophomore album entitled "The Sweep", which features guest vocals from Sharon Van Etten, who has also loaned her lovely voice to bands such as The National, Beirut and The Antlers. Bleek Records is scheduled to release the first single from the new album in February 2012
