Icelandic trio Vök have shared one of their strongest new tracks yet with their buoyant and captivating new single Miss Confidence, which follows their recent releases Lose Control and Stadium and is out now via Nettwerk.
Miss Confidence is an upbeat and immediate track with an atmospheric disco-tinged melody and empowering lyrics about a woman who puts on a confident front yet is fearful inside. Margrét says;
“Miss Confidence” is about wearing a mask. It is yet another chapter in our story continuing from our “Feeding on a Tragedy EP” released last year. At this point in time, our character is putting on a front and wearing a mask of confidence. On the outside she appears bold and fearless, but on the inside, she is broken and afraid. It’s the perfect stranger – Miss Confidence.”
New track Miss Confidence follows recent singles Lose Control and Stadium alongside the tracks Running Wild, No Coffee at the Funeral, Skin and Lost in the Weekend, all of which made up the band’s unique and lushly layered EP Feeding on a Tragedy. Recorded in their Reykjavík studios, the EP was the follow-up to their acclaimed 2019 album In the Dark, which was written and recorded by the band in collaboration with producer James Earp (Bipolar Sunshine, Fickle Friends, Lewis Capaldi).
Vök continue to cement their position as one of the most exciting and forward-thinking alternative bands right now. Following two critically acclaimed albums, Feeding on a Tragedy marked the first new musical moment in an exciting new era for Vök with lots more still to come.
