In 1993, two teenagers - James "Jamie" Zoeller from Northern Virginia and Elaine Bradley (then Doty) from the Louisville suburbs of southern Indiana - found themselves uprooted and relocated to Crystal Lake, Illinois
Jamie was a sophomore and Elaine a freshman, when they met in band class. An instant friendship formed, fueled by a shared plan to start a rock band. As they aged, their musical tastes evolved and they gained experience seeing and playing alongside local bands from Chicago's punk and early emo scene. Drawing deep influence from the textured dynamics of Hum and the raw emotionality of Sunny Day Real Estate and Braid, nymb became a staple of the late-90s Chicago scene. Their live shows - celebrated for being both physically and emotionally charged - saw them sharing stages with heavyweights like Cursive, Jets to Brazil, and Hey Mercedes.
Before disbanding in August of 2001 after a raucous farewell show at the Fireside Bowl, nymb left behind a rich discography of demos, EPs, and two full-length albums.
So, This Is How It Is is nymb's first full-length album, back in print for the first time in decades and includes two additional tracks recorded during the same session with Jeremy Lemos that originally appeared as b-sides to The Breathing Out Vapors Single. The album was remastered by Carl Saff and the original art was updated and adapted for vinyl by Wall of Youth.
