In 2011 they recorded a self-titled EP in Signal Hill, CA with Dave Gonzales on bass and went on to perform various shows in Los Angeles. On July of 2012, Tas Limur joined as Kolm’s full-time bassist, completing the line up as it stands today. Kolm’s diverse influences include an array of rock and electronic music; ranging from progressive rock, metal, and experimental to psybient, downtempo, psychedelic and ethnic music. Other inspirations in Kolm’s music are various philosophies, visionaries, and artists. What developed from these influences was a desire to create soundscapes and sonic experimentations that blend rock and electronic music with the intention to take the listener on a musical journey. Kolm worked on their debut album for three years and ran a successful crowdfunding campaign to fund the record. On August 24, 2018, they released their debut, ‘Umbra’, in digital and CD formats and on vinyl in November 2018.
