Icky Blossoms is an electropop trio [1] formed in Omaha, Nebraska in 2011, bringing together singer/synth player Sarah Bohling and singer/multi-instrumentalists Derek Pressnall and Nik Fackler. [2] The three became acquainted through the Omaha arts scene and Pressnall's sidebands [3] Tilly and the Wall and Flowers Forever. [4] In early 2012, Icky Blossoms signed to Omaha-based Saddle Creek, [5] who released the band's self-titled, full-length LP on July 17, 2012. Produced by TV on the Radio multi-instrumentalist Dave Sitek, [6] it is said to be an “album of sharp mechanical grooves and romantic attitude” by Spin magazine. [7]
