Vök

Vök is a dream-pop/indie-electronica band formed in Reykjavík, Iceland, in 2013.The band was created when Margrét Rán (vocalist) and Andri Már (saxophonist) decided to enter 'Músíktilraunir' (English: 'music trials'), an annual music contest in their native Iceland.In just a few weeks, they had come up with an array of new tracks and ended up winning the contest.The band members hail from Hafnarfjörður, and they make music in both their native Icelandic and English.In January 2018, Vök announced that Ólafur would leave the band. When asked how they came up with their name, they replied that "It's one of those words used to describe something and has no equivalent in English".The band considers Portishead, Air, and Massive Attack as some of its major influences.
