Alternative Rock from Micah Thunder

Growing up, artist Micah Thunder was inspired by his father who was a dancer, teaching him the rhythm and power of music, as well as the majesty of family campfire songs, with memories of the wilderness and stories of humanity. These early influences instilled a sense of wonder and mystery surrounding music, emotions that he strives to sew into his own sound, making music to soundtrack wild journeys.

The Albuquerque-based musician started his own musical journey in 2005 but only began releasing his material more recently. Since 2018, when he uploaded his music to YouTube, he’s amassed thousands of views and gained fans all over the world, calling themselves The Thunder Tribe.

Influenced by the likes of Third Eye Blind, Elliot Smith, Sufjan Stevens and others, he deals with with loss of faith, crisis, despair, reflection, acceptance and self-compassion in his writing. He’s also been featured on Season 1 of Bands of Enchantment which premiered on PBS NM as well as receiving extensive radio support for his releases.

Now he brings us his latest release with the single “Nobody”, a song about self-mastery – nobody knows you but yourself. Produced by Edgar Wonder, as part of The Monsoon Music House which counts Micah Thunder as a member, “Nobody” offers Thunder’s classic folk rock songwriting of melody-focused vocals set to a beautiful instrumental arrangement.

Commenting on the track, he shares, “I was inspired by the idea that no one knows what it feels like to be me. I don’t know what it’s like to be another person. The only person I really struggle against is myself.”
