Vök – Við Vökum

vok2

“Við Vökum” is another impressive entry in the oeuvre of Icelandic R&B band Vök. A sound that approximates similarity to The xx (but with more muscle and a larger visceral quality), “Við Vökum” also succeeds on its diverse instrumentation and arrangement (the insertion of horns and use of counter-rhythms are particularly standout). Vök’s “Tension” EP is due this fall from The MuseBox Records.
