Meet ALMA
An NYC-Based trio bringing a quirky, cinematic, DIY approach to pop. This project is the brainchild of Alba S. Torremocha, Melissa Kaitlyn Carter, and Lillie R. McDonough, and had been compared to Sylvan Esso, The Dirty Projectors and The Staves.
Their music is immersive, chock full of vocal harmony and homegrown production. Armed with a mobile microphone and a do it yourself sensibility, they use airplanes as cymbals or parental phone chats as texture, to produce their music with the sounds from their own lives outside of the recording studio. Their unique approach to production is grounded by ethereal vocal arrangements that form the core of their signature sound.
ALMA worked with industry giants Elliot Moss (mixing) and Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound (mastering) to bring their genre-bending freshman album, MOSAIC, to light. This debut LP is a personal letter to NYC. Each song delivers the story of a moment in time in the city they call home.
