Vol. II by Vogor
VOGOR set to Release Highly Anticipated Album "Vol II" on October 11, 2024
Iceland’s Creative Collective Returns with a Bold Fusion of Rock, Indie, and Shoegaze
Icelandic collective VOGOR is set to release their latest album, "Vol II," on Friday, October 11, 2024. This record continues the band’s exploration of atmospheric soundscapes, blending shoegaze, indie rock, and lo-fi elements with a nostalgic nod to the ‘80s indie and goth scenes.
"Vol II" takes listeners on a journey filled with lush, reverb-soaked guitars, emotive vocals, and that unmistakable Icelandic touch of melancholic beauty. While the album draws heavily from ‘80s shoegaze and indie rock, VOGOR infuses their own distinct style, making this record a unique statement of sonic creativity.
The project is the result of a collaboration between members of the acclaimed Icelandic band Stafrænn Hákon and the Vogor Records community, a creative collective dedicated to crafting authentic and experimental music. "Vol II" follows the success of the 2020 album "Vol I," which laid the foundation for this ongoing artistic exploration.
The standout track "Patina" exemplifies the album’s ability to blend delicate melodies with powerful instrumentation, creating an evocative and immersive listening experience. While the album isn’t yet available on streaming platforms, fans can support the release directly on Bandcamp at vogor.bandcamp.com/album/vogor-vol-ii.
"Vol II" solidifies VOGOR's place as one of Iceland's most compelling experimental collectives, continuing their tradition of pushing sonic boundaries and inviting listeners into their world of layered, introspective sound.
