Alma Revel are an alternative indie band based in South West London. Consisting of four childhood friends who, having played in various bands together growing up, came to form Alma Revel in the late summer of 2014. Drawing on an array of musical influences & styles ranging from Foals to Floyd they have created a unique sound of their own.
Nathan's haunting vocals and youthfully romantic lyrics characterised Alma Revel's early recordings. Elevated by intricate guitar licks, and backed by the beating heart of a driven backline, their first two tracks 'Mellow Hollow' & 'Sleep Thief' would become the bedrock of the band's character. The combination of crisp and complex layered melodies with soaring vocal harmonies has since become a hallmark of their sound.
The subsequent writing sessions spawned the riff driven Grass On Sky and the poppier hook laden Stay In Your Lane, both tracks, while main stays of early set lists, became replaced by the fruitful writing sessions that followed.
Having found their feet playing a handful of well received London shows Alma Revel grew in to the darker ambience of the early tracks, embracing the musical depth that these had alluded to and through a continued dedication to writing, rehearsing and performing the band honed their distinct sound.
The Alma Revel boys are currently in the process of recording their first four track EP with the aim to be complete and released by early 2016…
