Teen Idle is the musical moniker of NJ-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Sara Abdelbarry. In middle school, Sara was convinced she would become a cardiac surgeon – conveniently, she still gets to the heart, just with sound instead of a scalpel.
Teen Idle came to be when, during her last year of college in NYC, Sara challenged herself to write a song every day for a week and post it to Bandcamp. Sara's first EP <a href="spotify:album:0WnRg2YY3SehBPx6MVJopi" data-name="Insomniac Dreams">Insomniac Dreams</a> charted at #10 on WRSU and remained in the station’s Top 30 for 5 weeks straight, and her most recent record <a href="spotify:album:5oskZdLS80erHjRbw25Trb" data-name="Nonfiction">Nonfiction</a> charted nationally on college radio a spot below the <a href="spotify:artist:7jy3rLJdDQY21OgRLCZ9sD" data-name="Foo Fighters">Foo Fighters</a>. This album was entirely produced, recorded, and performed by Sara (except for drums) in her basement studio in NJ. The album’s lead single <a href="spotify:track:6Aj9OONULvNk2QhkxHLLsD" data-name="Birthday Cake">Birthday Cake</a> landed on Spotify’s <a href="spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DWT0upuUFtT7o" data-name="Fresh Finds Indie">Fresh Finds Indie</a> editorial playlist. Sara is currently working on her next album, which will be a totally new direction.
Inspired by so many things — from the frenzied guitar work of <a href="spotify:artist:3Dzj993UEz8Z5ovxuirzFO" data-name="Lindsey Buckingham">Lindsey Buckingham</a>, to the distorted sounds of ‘90s grunge, to the lovelorn songwriting of Arabic crooners like <a href="spotify:artist:0dwFxqYkvZLSA6U6XfQcDV" data-name="Fairuz">Fairuz</a> — Teen Idle has lyrical prowess and cinematic tendencies. Sara calls it rock music with pop sensibility.
