VLMV (pronounced ALMA) is a self-proclaimed ambient-ish post-something

singer-songwriter, composer and producer from London.

Known as ALMA until 2018’s literal name flip, necessitated by regular cases of mistaken

identity with the Finnish Pop namesake, VLMV take their name from the Atacama Large

Millimeter / submillimeter Array – “a really bloody powerful telescope”.

Formed in early 2015 and fronted by songwriter Pete Lambrou, VLMV were signed

immediately to the illustrious Fierce Panda Records, and released their debut self titled mini

album in August 2015. Their full length follow up, Stranded Not Lost, was released in February

2018 and VLMV subsequently became part of the Erased Tapes Music family alongside

musical luminaries such as Nils Frahm & Olafur Arnalds. Stranded, Not Lost was nominated

for a PROG award later that year.

VLMV’s music has been seen and heard on screen all over the world, with tracks like ‘The

Gardener’ and ‘To The Stars’ being used on The Champions League final, MTV’s Teen Mom,

Amazon Prime’s The Grand Tour, alongside adverts for Nike and Santander and many

more. Pete has also composed music for Ikea, Rolex, Hyundai and The National Trust

among others.
