History

Las Nubes debuted in 2014 with Matter That Soils Blackens which was self-released under the Smut name (sometimes stylized as Smvt) as a solo project from Ale Campos.[7] [8] [9] Her follow up, the Conveniently Broken EP was ranked 15th in the "Best Bandcamp releases of 2015" list from Fact.[10]

The project then expanded with the addition of Emile Milgrim in 2017.[11] [12] [13] After adopting the Las Nubes name, they released their debut album SMVT via Sweat Records Records in 2019.[14] [15] [16] That same year, Las Nubes were named "band of the year" by Miami New Times.[17]

At the 2019 Miami Art Week, Las Nubes backed Iggy Pop for a set of songs by The Stooges.[3] [18] [19] After this, Iggy would play Las Nubes on his BBC 6 Music show,[20] [21] and Campos would feature in his "Loves Missing" music video[22] before joining his band as guitarist.[23] [24] [25]

In March 2020, Las Nubes released a split EP with Palomino Blond on BUFU Records,[26] which saw their music featured by BrooklynVegan, Talkhouse, NPR Music, and Filter.[27] [28] [29]

They followed this with LIVE NUBES: Live & Session Tracks 2019-2021 in May 2022. The compilation featured Iggy Pop on a performance of "I Wanna Be Your Dog."[30] [31]

Las Nubes have toured the US[32] [33] and Mexico,[34] [35] performing on bills with acts including Sheer Mag,[36] Shannon and The Clams,[37] The Coathangers,[18] Jens Lekman,[38] Alice Bag, and others.[39] [27] [40]

Las Nubes issued the Enredados / Drop In single via Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace Library label in December 2023[41] [42] [6] before returning with their second full-length album, Tormentas Malsanas in June 2024.[38] The album was released through the Sweat Records Records, Spinda Records, and Godless America labels,[43] [44] [45] and premiered on Under the Radar magazine.[46] Radio support for the album included KCRW,[47] WKDU,[48] KDHX,[49] WMBR,[50] KRUI-FM,[51] and FM4.[52] Press support included Mondo Sonoro,[53] Remezcla,[54] [55] Musos' Guide,[56] [57] [58] God Is In The TV,[59] and The Post,[16] among others.[60] [61] [44]

In promotion of Tormentas Malsanas, Las Nubes guested on Damian Abraham's Turned Out A Punk podcast,[62] and recorded a live session for KEXP,[63] [64] a station which had been supportive of the release.[65] [66]
