Bio / Background
Willamette Week
“The magic of Climber's music, and the reason these guys deserve to be in the upper echelon of the Portland music world, is that they've found a way to create songs based in sadness that resonate with such life-affirming energy that they rarely leave a listener pondering the dark side of life,”
Portland Mercury
“Combining the ambient explorations of Brian Eno and the more melodic elements of post-OK Computer Radiohead, hometown electro-heroes, Climber, make Music for Upscale Boutiques...Climber's smooth, futuristic electronic creations have more pop-resonance than most of their knob-twiddling contemporaries, making them the ideal band to passively appreciate.”
The Portland Tribune
“There are electronic elements, but the primary goal is more about mood than big beats and dancing. The tunes are alluring, fragile and never head-scratchingly obtuse...

Three Imaginary Girls
“Vocalist and pianist, Michael Nelson, reminds me of both Thom Yorke and Chris Martin, and he does it with a grace that few can pull off. It takes a certain quality of pipes to sing in that manner, and he possesses enough skill to not come off sounding extremely derivative, a failing task for many bands.”
The Oregonian
“Climber sounds computerized, even techy, but retains a human touch thanks to the sweet, vulnerable ache of vocalist Michael Nelson...”
Willamette Week
“What did we all do before the boys in Climber emerged from their basement and washed this fine city in warm organ tones and sweet, hushed vocals? I don't remember, but I imagine it was much more depressing and cold.”
