Song of the show on EKHO Sonic Chill #7 · pick 7 of the EKHO Sonic 25
Vök. Icelandic dream pop out of Reykjavík, formed in January 2013 by singer Margrét Rán Magnúsdóttir and saxophonist Andri Enoksson. 'Floating' is track 5 on their debut album, Figure (Nettwerk / Record Records, April 28th, 2017), made with producer Brett Cox, who's worked with Jack Garratt. The band calls it the darkest song on the album. First draft was in Margrét's summerhouse, then they forgot about it until Andri revived it about two years later. Their latest album is the self-titled Vök (September 23rd, 2022).
