Vök is a young band, formed early 2013. Shortly thereafter they participated in and won the prestigious Icelandic battle of the bands, Músíktilraunir. Subsequently they recorded and released the EP, 'Tension' via Icelandic indie label Record Records.

Prior to forming Vök in February 2013, Margrét Rán and Andri Enoksson had been working together unofficially for quite some time. The third member Ólafur Alexander joined their ranks shortly after and with that the future line-up of Vök was completed.

Vök has been generating a lot of hype in the vibrant music scene of Reykjavík. Their sound consists of dreamy electronics with melodic vocals and distant saxophones. Guitar also plays a prominent role in their sound, placing them a bit more in the realm of indie-electro.

The trio is currently working on a new EP, set for spring 2015 release.

Vök have been compared to the likes of The XX and The Knife.

Overall Meaning

In Vök's song Polar, the repeated chorus expresses a sense of freedom and individuality. The singer declares that they will do just what they want, and they will do it with "polar." The concept of "polar" is ambiguous and could have various interpretations. It could refer to a person, place, or thing that the singer identifies with, represents a polar opposite to something, or just simply be a metaphor for something unknown.

The lines "play it back, our rules," suggest that the singer is unapologetically living life on their terms and not succumbing to societal expectations or norms. The repetition of the phrase "Polar, Polar" creates an intense and catchy hook, both simplistic and compelling.

Overall, Vök's song Polar highlights the importance of being true to oneself and finding a unique sense of identity in a world full of conformity and pressures.
