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

In June 2014, drummer Ryan Menchaca was asked to audition for the band, and after a successful audition and jam session he was added to the lineup.

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.
