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]

The Icky Blossoms' Song "Babes" was used in a trailer for the movie Sin City: A Dame to Kill For shown first at San Diego Comic Con in July 2014. The band's second album, Mask, was released on May 12, 2015.[8][9]
