From the Red River Cultural District in Austin, TX, The Nimbus is an electronic rock duo creating lush, bass heavy music that falls somewhere between trip hop, synthpop, darkwave, and noise pop. The band was formed in late 2011 by Ritch Napierkowski and Martin McCreadie. Between 2013 and 2020, the band expanded to include Gabriel Barrientes on drums.
 
Their first album, ‘™WORD – The Many Ways Of Rainy Days‘, was released in February 2014, followed by their first vinyl single, ‘Fever b/w Little White Lies (Tempted)‘ in September 2015. After a bit of a hiatus, The Nimbus released ‘Blue and Silver‘, a holiday EP, accompanied by a meta video, in 2024. The band is currently working on new material.
 
Similar popular acts include Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Tricky, The Faint, Nine Inch Nails, Gorillaz, Crosses, Puscifer, Fever Ray, How To Destroy Angels, M83, Rufus Du Sol, etc.
