Icky Blossoms sign to Saddle Creek

If you've been around the Omaha music hangouts, you've probably already heard the rumblings about Icky Blossoms getting signed.

Now, it's official. Icky Blossoms has signed with Omaha's indie label Saddle Creek Records and is going to record with Dave Sitek from TV On The Radio in Los Angeles.

Icky Blossoms is Tilly And The Wall's Derek Presnall, filmmaker/musician Nik Fackler, and vocalist Sarah Bohling. The band formed from Presnall's former band Flowers Forever, which had one release on Team Love and performed at Conor Oberst's Concert For Equality.

I really dig the song "Perfect Vision," which is streaming on the bands website. It - along with other songs from the band - is hazy, dreamy pop that you could either space out during or get up and dance to. Listen over here.

More info is coming on the band's album and some tour dates and the like. (I'm a little surprised they didn't wait to release this info until they had a release date or an album title, but what do I know about running a record label?)

What do you think about the signing? I like that Saddle Creek has gone with another Omaha band.

Non-existent vinyl now exists

Remember that vinyl release show recently where they didn't have the vinyl?

Conduits, InDreama, Icky Blossoms and Touch People had a show at Slowdown, but the vinyl wasn't pressed yet.

Anyway, it turns out the vinyl is now in. If you don't remember previous articles, the bands created a double 7" release with one song from each group.

E-mail conduits.sound@gmail.com for order information. The vinyl is $8, plus $3 shipping.

Of course, you can wait to get one directly from the bands at one of their respective shows.
