VÖK Releases Future Sports Inspired Video for 'Breaking Bones'

Vök recently announced a UK tour in March and its their biggest headline tour yet.

To celebrate this news, the Icelandic electronic dream-pop band have shared a future sports inspired video for “Breaking Bones ,” a track brimming with lush bursts of synth bliss and mystery.

Directed by  Hörður Freyr Brynjarsson of Eyk Studio, who also previously made Vök’s stylish video for 'Show Me' .

The atmospheric “ Breaking Bones ” video depicts two teams playing the fictional game Hells Gate! , a brutal futuristic version of hockey, reminiscent of science fiction films Rollerball, The Running Man  and cult cyberpunk video games like Speedball.

Hörður says of the video’s concept:  "The idea came from a very vivid and instinctual image while listening to the song for the first time. Servants of society, facing each other, waiting to inflict pain. By time it was modified by the nostalgic sound of the synth echoing in the chorus, bringing in some elements of early 90s video games. The end result becomes some sort of an interactive TV broadcast in Vök’s wintery world…"
