Pete Lambrou, the visionary composer and multi-instrumentalist behind VLMV (pronounced “Alma”), is one of the most singular voices emerging from the ambient, post-rock, and experimental scenes in the UK. With a career that spans atmospheric solo work, film and television scoring, and evocative live performance, Lambrou has carved out a distinctive sonic universe he describes as “ambient-ish post-something” (Pete Lambrou) – a playful yet accurate summation of a sound that is at once genre-fluid and deeply immersive.

Today, VLMV announces his stunning new album There Will Come Soft Rains, due for release on 24th April via Pelagic Records. The first single from the album has been unveiled, the beautiful ‘Bodies Grown, Pt. 1’.

VLMV comments on the new single: “‘Bodies Grown’ is a conversion between one soul and another, a parental call and response created using analogue synths reassembled and refashioned through granular and modular synthesis.

“It started as an analogue synth played into modular, which gave me something back in response I hadn’t planned. Like we were having a conversation, or a duet. It felt as though nature, in this case analogue, was in communication with a more modern form. To me it is a family relationship. In harmony, but not the same. Moved on. Progressed and Evolved.”

VLMV will be touring the UK shortly.
