Bursting out of Ukraine we have VINOK, the trio is from the capital city of Kyiv and have today dropped their mighty new track "Friends". From the outset, the vocals are honestly mesmerising with the soothing tones ensuring that you're going to be giving this single a good few listens.
Ukraine might not be the first place you think of when you utter the words anthemic indie-rock, but VINOK are here and isn't going anywhere any time soon!
The new cut from the Kyiv locals will be familiar to people who love Arcade Fire as the chanting vocals, tribal drum beats, and atmosphere of the track gives off a massive taste of what the band is capable of, and if you like this then hold tight, they're dropping their debut album at some point this year.
Speaking about the new single the band say - " ... "Friends" is about a relationship that was once intimate but became rotten due to the malignity that a globalized world can bring. It’s about one who is willing to sacrifice friendship for self-worship, societal praise, power, and idols of success."
The band's new single is a perfect blend between pop and anthemic indie-rock, the trio have really created a track you can love from the outset, and as I previously mentioned, if you're a fan of Arcade Fire then VINOK's new cut is for you! Ukraine might not be the first place you think of when you utter the words anthemic indie-rock, but VINOK are here and isn't going anywhere any time soon!
