Las Nubes (formerly Smut/Smvt) is a multilingual Garage Rock band from Miami, Florida. The group is composed of Ale Campos (Vocals/Guitars) and Emile Milgrim (Drums/Percussion).[1][2][3] They have recorded for labels such as BUFU Records and Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace Library.[4][5][6]

History

[edit | edit source]

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.[31][27][39]

Las Nubes issued the Enredados / Drop In single via Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace Library label in December 2023[40][41][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,[42][43][44] and premiered on Under the Radar magazine.[45] Radio support for the album included KCRW,[46] WKDU,[47] KDHX,[48] WMBR,[49] KRUI-FM,[50] and FM4.[51] Press support included Mondo Sonoro,[52] Remezcla,[53] Musos' Guide,[54] Atwood Magazine,[55] God Is In The TV,[56] and The Post,[16] among others.[57][58][43]

In promotion of Tormentas Malsanas, Las Nubes guested on Damian Abraham's Turned Out A Punk podcast,[59] and recorded a live session for KEXP,[60][61] a station which had been supportive of the release.[62][63] They also toured the East and West coasts in the Summer and Fall, respectively.[33][64][65]

After the release of Tormentas Malsanas, Las Nubes placed on a number of end-of-year lists for KEXP,[66] Grimy Goods,[67] Merge Records,[68] Monterrey 360,[69] and others.[70][71][72] "Pesada" reached no.1 in the Hype Machine "Popular Now" chart in January 2025.[73]
