"until now we've been drowning in our skin"
Nashville based Safari Room create spatial loveliness with hard edges on the track 131. Maybe their sound is informed by the fact that they are a three piece outfit but they do not clutter 131, not at all. This is not to say that it feels under-produced, it feels perfect. As principal songwriter, guitarist and lead vocalist, Alec Koukol has a pristine emotional vocal aesthetic as if he is thinking of both the past and future while his is singing, building the song's narrative. Chris Collier on guitar and Austin Drewry on drums lend a formidable potent heaviness but attention is paid to the spaces between the words and main musical body, the sonic spaces creating room for nice added nuances.

Safari Room is an indie rock band, assembled in Nashville, TN, but born elsewhere. With a keenness on human connection as a founding cornerstone, the band is characterized by ambient soundscapes, intricate rhythms, baritone-led falsetto vocals, crunchy guitars and introspective lyrical content. Touring the U.S. far and wide, Safari Room has established themselves as one of Nashville’s most intriguing and personal rock bands.
Safari Room’s sound has been compared to The National, Death Cab for Cutie, Grizzly Bear and Fleet Foxes. All comparisons find them perfectly adjacent to some of the most engrossing and experimental indie rock bands playing today.
Hailing from Omaha, NE; Newark and Dayton, OH; the 3-piece indie-rock band consists of Alec Koukol (songwriter/lead vocalist/guitarist), Chris Collier (guitar) and Austin Drewry (drums). The band calls Nashville home with eyes set beyond.
