   Vly - Post rock

Recently formed, internationally-based and extremely diverse collective, VLY,
 has signed with Laser’s Edge for the release of their debut album early
 this Fall. Amongst the quintet’s ranks, several members of the outfit 
have previously spent time in Crippled Black Phoenix, one from 
Änglagård, and all currently hold rank in Diet Kong, Typical Reptiles, 
Karl Demata Band, Il Tempio Delle Clessidre, Bernie Torme’, Shark 
Island, White Willow and Necromonkey.
VLY began 
as strangers sending 1’s and 0’s across the Atlantic Ocean. 
British-based guitarist Karl Demata had a vague idea and a few demos, 
when a friend put him in touch with New York singer/artist Keith 
Gladysz. Keith began working on the demos, adding a more melodic, 
dream-like and decidedly indie sensibility. “It was a new way to work”, 
says Gladysz. “The music and collaborative art I’ve made always started 
with people I knew, and creating naturally came out of that 
understanding. That’s not the case with VLY. We managed
 to make an album without ever meeting. There was no gauge or reference 
point except for the music. It was a total shot in the dark.”
The components are:
Keith Gladysz (Diet Kong, Typical Reptiles) – vocals
Karl Demata (ex-Crippled Black Phoenix, Karl Demata Band) – guitars, synths, programming
Elisa Montaldo (Il Tempio Delle Clessidre) – keyboards and synths
Chris Heilmann (ex-Crippled Black Phoenix, Bernie Torme’, Shark Island) – bass
Mattias Olsson (ex-Änglagård. White Willow, Necromonkey) – drums, keyboards

Their first new album I / [TIME] is from Laser's Edge and is out since 18/09/15
The sound of VLY hits elements of progressive rock, 
classic rock, folk, early-Floydian psychedelia, intimate pop melodies, 
massive walls of epic guitar riffage, post-classical, post-rock and 
electronic music.. 

ASTONISHING!!!
