VLMV at Archspace. Stranded, Not Lost album launch!

What's in a name? In the case of VLMV, many oblique things. Ostensibly a self-proclaimed
ambient-ish post-something duo from the southern reaches of London, VLMV were recently
known as ALMA until several cases of mistaken identity with a green-haired Finnish pop
princess necessitated a gentlemanly branding rethink.
Now they have not quite literally flipped their name upside down and come up with VLMV,
which is still pronounced ALMA Or if you want to be an enunciation enthusiast, Uhl-muh.
Formed in 2015 and fronted by songwriter Pete Lambrou VLMV released their debut mini album
via Fierce Panda Records in August 2015, along with 'Remixes & Reworkings' - a digital overhaul of their esteemed debut album, shortly after.
Joined by fellow Code In The Clouder Ciaran Morahan, VLMV deploy loop stations, multiple
delay pedals, piano and strings to create a slow-moving, high-flying soundscape of luscious
gravitas which has been described by The Independent as 'Breath-taking in its scope and
evoking imagery of the vastness of space...a shimmering soundscape of delicate ethereal
beauty'.
Quite fittingly, VLMV take their name from the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array
a really bloody powerful telescope.
Praise for ALMA
Building atmospheric and quietly epic soundscapes that creep up on you unannounced.like
a beam of light through a dark, cold night. - Lauren Laverne BBC6 Music

The duo create an expansive, lush, vivid aural foundation for Lambrous angelic falsetto
vocals. Alma create a shimmering soundscape of delicate ethereal beauty. Breath-taking in
its scope and evoking imagery of the vastness of space with titles such as Cosmonaut and To
The Stars, Alma aim to transport the listener out of their surroundings with their evocative,
haunting music. The Independent

An often breathtaking collection of movement and song, ALMA have crafted something truly
special here - Gold Flake Paint

This is a new act worth your attention Big Cheese (9/10)

This is the perfect record to look up at our immense sky at night and wonder whats out there - Music & Riots

With sparse piano and gentle vocals, underpinned by sonourous bassy synths, this is a track
that manages to be atmospheric and vulnerable in tandem. - Killing Moon
