    Finding this band on KEXP had been one of the most beautiful things for me this week. Iceland has some really incredible performers that are highly underrated. I was recently bummed about Kiasmos taking a break (another amazing Icelandic band that KEXP loves) and Vök has really been helping me to transition into something new. I’m a musician myself (primarily flute/tenor sax but I do some guitar too) and I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to hear the saxophone as an integral part of this band. Her vocals are so beautiful and haunting, it almost reminds me of Sade in some distant yet close way. And don’t even get me started on those smooth hip movements of the bassist, ha, ha. The drummer does a fantastic job at being gentle in a strong way, really, the entire band is just incredibly moving. I recently watched their other performance that KEXP featured in 2013/2014 and I highly recommend others to watch it, as you will see how this performance right here has been so fined tuned. They have truly evolved into their own and the confidence that they display in this performance is so different than how they were in the earlier performance of 2013/2014. It’s really amazing to see how they have matured as musicians. Great job!

      The group name Braids with their song "Victoria" pretty much similar to Bjork too.

    They are highly talented and absolute brilliant live performers. I can absolutely believe, that they composed extraordinary songs within a week.

    Rather than Björk, her vocals remind me more of Karin Dreijer. Love the ambience. So glad I popped round to listen...

    Every time I tune into this incredible band, first I'm hypnotised, evoking and provoking my emotions, whilst being swept away to another familiar and beautiful dimension. A call back to more invigorating times within my life time, where I never wish to leave...
