Urban Nomad are an eclectic progressive rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. A quartet, the band consists of Will Neufeld (keyboards, vocals), Nick Rempel (guitar, vocals), Justin Kroeker (bass), and James Neufeld (drums). Formed around 2009, the band recorded their only release, a self-titled EP, over the course of 9 months, from October 2011 to June 2012. The EP was largely recorded independently as a home production, but nonetheless maintains the quality of a professional recording.

Released in October 2012, the 30 minute long Urban Nomad sees the band playing an intricate yet melodic take on prog rock with heavy leanings into jazz fusion. In addition to its primarily jazzy flavour, the EP also contains excursions into more symphonic territory, along with minor psychedelic and blues undertones, not unlike some Canterbury bands. Although Urban Nomad clearly define their own unique sound, the EP does remind the listener of the band's cited influences, which include 70's artists such as King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Camel, as well as more contemporary artists, such as Porcupine Tree and Jaga Jazzist. In 2015, the band regrouped as Teleharmonium, who continue to create original prog rock with a more commercial crossover sound.
