A BURIAL AT SEA // NEWHVN (UK)
Perfect Sounds Forever presenterer: A BURIAL AT SEA // NEWHVN (UK) support: VLMV (UK) Landmark / 26.april / 20.00: dører / 20.30: konsertstart Emerging in 2025 from Liverpool, United Kingdom, newhvn blends rock, alternative rock and grunge into a genre-defying sound. From the remains of a post-rock instrumental band, the project newhvn has surfaced, blending together their post-rock roots with their shoegaze and post-hardcore influences. Having toured the world and released two albums as their former project A Burial at Sea, newhvn have had years of experience on the road, building fanbases up around Ireland, UK, Europe and Asia and have supported bands such as And So I Watch You From Afar, The Ocean, This Will Destroy You. They've also made appearances at festivals like ArcTanGent (UK), Post in Paris (FR), Bergmal (SW), and Dunk (BE). Wanting to break away from their post-rock sound, the remains of A Burial at Sea took themselves to Black Bay Studios on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland and newhvn was born. Pulling influences from Pinegrove and Cloakroom and combined it with their post-rock background a collection of 10 songs were formed, to be released in 2026. Formed in early 2015 and fronted by songwriter/producer Pete Lambrou, VLMV released their debut album via Fierce Panda Records in August 2015, reaching Number 42 in the UK Independent Charts, and described by Lauren Laverne (BBC6 Music) as "a beam of light through a dark, cold night", 'Heart-achingly beautiful" by Prog Magazine, and "A shimmering soundscape of delicate ethereal beauty. Breath-taking in its scope and evoking imagery of the vastness of space" by The Independent. Now signed to Erased Tapes Music, VLMV's music has been heard on TV's throughout the world, with high profile spots for Santander, The Grand Tour, The Champions League Final, Nike, Vice, MTV's Teen Mom, and many more. Live, VLMV is known for slow building solo loops with guitar, piano, voice and synths surrounded by homemade flickering lights - a delicate and immersive experience.
