BARA HARI
BARA HARI is the solo project of multidisciplinary artist Sam Franco. Blurring the lines between myth and trauma, fantasy and reality, Franco builds a shadowy space from which to explore pain, beauty, and drama as BARA HARI. Often handcrafting elaborate costumes and set pieces to accompany her music, Franco is a world builder in a sense that extends to every darkly ethereal detail of her work.
Whether crafting period-appropriate gowns, plunging into the mind of a character, or designing moody showpieces for live performances, Franco’s uncompromising approach to her work offers listeners a fully immersive experience. Franco writes, records, and produces herself out of her studio in Los Angeles. Franco's take on dark pop weaves raw vulnerability into tight, driving productions in a style akin to Florence + the Machine, The Killers, Marina, and Garbage.
Following the EPs Pandora's Box and Dark New Day, BARA HARI released her debut full length, Lesser Gods, via Re:Mission Entertainment in 2023, establishing a bold identity for the project and for herself as a musician and producer. Its 10 ambitious compositions tell stories that blur the lines between dark fantasies and harsh realities, moving from dark pop-rock to trip hop, with the singles "Tempest," "Violence Rising," "House of the Devil" and "Agoraphobic." The album was also pressed as a limited vinyl edition of 200 copies.
Since then, BARA HARI has teamed up with genCAB on "There Goes That Dream," revisited "Tempest" in an acoustic version, and in 2025 returned with "A Flower in His Garden," her first new song since Lesser Gods, co-produced and mixed by Ian Flux with live drums by Lorne Walker.
