THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS
‘Heart-achingly beautiful’
Prog Magazine
“As worthy of your love and admiration as anything Sigur Rós or Explosions In The Sky have released”
Team Rock
“Building atmospheric and quietly epic soundscapes that creep up on you unannounced….like a beam of light through a dark, cold night.”
Lauren Laverne
“a shimmering soundscape of delicate ethereal beauty. Breath-taking in its scope and evoking imagery of the vastness of space…Alma aim to transport the listener out of their surroundings with their evocative, haunting music.”
The Independent
“This is the perfect record to look up at our immense sky at night and wonder what’s out there”

THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS
TheRE WILL COME SOFT RAINS takes it’s name from Sara Teasdales’ 1918 poem, and the subsequent short story of the same name by Ray Bradbury in 1950. Both suggest that nature would be indifferent to humanity’s extinction, and that ‘life’ would go on as normal.
Revisiting this is over a hundred years later it feels possibly more relevant, but also expanded. Nature is no longer the clear favourite. Despite the heavy subject matter, I wanted to create an album that imparts hope and optimism, explores humanity’s dynasty, it’s fight or flight. Marrying traditional instrumentation as fond nostalgia, with technological innovation through the random chaos of modular synthesis, sound design and spatial audio.
VLMV’s (pronounced ALMA) first 2 albums were released on the illustrious Fierce Panda Records, receiving critical acclaim from the likes of Lauren Laverne, The Independent, and many more. Previous album, 2022’s album Sing With Abandon, was released via Nice Weather for Airstrikes and gained praise from the likes of PROG magazine. In 2019, VLMV signed to Erased Tapes Music Publishing.
