ALMA are set to release their debut mini album via Fierce Panda in August and now you can preview the record with a free download of one of the tracks ‘The Lighthouse’ right here. An eerily beautiful and expansive sonic experience, ‘ALMA’ is set for release on 14th August and the London duo will be playing a special release show at St. Pancras Old Church in London that very day. Submerging and almost hypnotic in effect, ALMA’s live show is not to be missed. ALMA, quite fittingly, takes its name from the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array – “a really bloody powerful telescope.”

The debut collection of songs will also feature recent singles ‘The Great Escape’ and ‘To The Stars’, both sublime compositions which pricked the ears of folk over at Amazing Radio and have garnered comparisons to fellow sound explorers Sigur Ros, Patrick Watson and Explosions In The Sky.

As mainstay of Codes In The Clouds and Monsters Build Mean Robots, vocalist / guitarist Pete Lambrou’s gently cosmic post-rock provenance is impeccable. Joined by fellow Code In The Clouder Ciaran Morahan, ALMA deploy a loop station, multiple delay pedals, a piano and strings to create a slow-moving, high-flying soundscape of luscious gravitas which permeates the entire seven tracks of their mini album.
