Scroll the eclipse. Everything here is measured.

TRANSIT · BP-01 λ 460 nm

One group, five wavelengths. Each property runs on its own frequency.

Umbra Group operates as a spectrum, not a portfolio. Every property has its own audience, cadence, and discipline — but they share a single editorial standard, design language, and operating team.

Indietheka publishes in Spanish. Umbra Studio consults on agentic systems. Transit automates press for artists. Orbit builds platform infrastructure for fan communities. Radiohead Community curates the largest independent fan archive online. Five instruments. One observatory.

Where culture passes through us, something changes.

Umbra · n.

The darkest region of a shadow. Where light is completely blocked by an intervening body. A measurable, physical event.

Umbra Group is an independent media group founded in June 2012 with Indietheka, the longest-running Spanish-language indie music outlet still in operation. The group has grown into five properties spanning editorial, community, platform, services, and consulting — across English- and Spanish-language audiences.

Each property addresses a different gap: long-form editorial in Spanish, the largest independent Radiohead fan community, infrastructure for fan communities to exist on their own terms, automated press for artists who can't afford agencies, and a consulting studio redesigning workflows for the agentic era.

"Treat independent culture as the serious cultural object it already is."
— Editorial standard · shared across all properties

The group is built and maintained independently. No labels. No management. No PR firms. No institutional backing. Five properties under a shared design language and a single editorial philosophy.
