VÍÍK:
Norwegian powerhouse Elisabeth Vik has established herself as an unrivaled live act on the contemporary Nordic music scene. Mythical figures emerge in flesh and blood, and you can practically smell the primeval Norse landscapes as you are swept away by VÍÍÍK's music. This is true folk music authenticity with a nerve and an uncanny ability to breathe life into rich Nordic traditions with a devil-may care charisma.
A mythical Nordic world is made flesh and blood in VÍÍK's captivating folk music
With her project VÍÍK, Norwegian powerhouse Elisabeth Vik has established herself as one of the most compelling and captivating names on the contemporary Nordic folk music scene. Accompanied by a powerhouse team of Nordic musicians, VÍÍK's unmatched sound and commanding stage presence has taken numerous festivals by storm and brought her ancient Nordic roots to new audiences.
Her love of these musical roots is combined with an infectious interest in new perspectives and fairy tales, allowing VÍÍK to bridge the gap between past and present, but also between the different Nordic traditions that flow together in vibrant and organic synergy with the tremendous musicians that VÍÍÍK has gathered around her. The dust of ancient history is blown off the music, and the beautiful, raw and compelling stories of folk music are brought to modern audiences' eye level when VÍÍÍK takes the stage. Backed by traditional folk instruments such as violin and cittern, VÍÍKs voice paints evocative and mysterious landscapes which seem to emerge from the fog, while she takes her music to playful and almost jazzy passages and screams out the bloody medieval legends of Nordic folk music with a volcanic power which feel like being at a heavy metal concert in the Middle Ages.
An orchestra that combines beauty, ferocity and primal dramatics Mythical figures emerge in flesh and blood, and you can practically smell the primeval Norse landscapes as you are swept away by VÍÍÍK's music. Many have already been captivated, and VÍÍK has triumphed as an unrivaled live act, having played on some of the most important stages in the Nordic region.
Her music has already thrilled audiences at both traditional folk music festivals and at iconic festivals such as Roskilde Festival, Rudolstadt Festival and Celtic Connections main stage.
VÍÍÍK's live performances have thrilled the critics, who have highlighted her ability to unite both the beauty and wilderness of folk music.
As the Danish music magazine GAFFA wrote, among other things:
"Her bright soprano always hits the nail on the head, and it is not only bright and beautiful, but also risk-taking and wild. You can clearly sense that Elisabeth Vik also dares the ugly and gruesome, and you can feel a primordial witch lurking just beneath the surface of her skin.”
Both seasoned folk music listeners and fans of rock, jazz and world music will find elements that excite them in VÍÍÍK's rich musical universe, which invites you to connect and celebrate with an unadulterated joy of playing music. This is true folk music authenticity with a nerve and an uncanny ability to breathe life into rich Nordic traditions with a devil may-care charisma. However, with a magical twinkle in her eye, VÍÍK is also happy to wear her own personal tall tales on her sleeve telling stories that are both amusing and touching — which is entirely in the spirit of folk music! In short, the audience can expect a musical experience of another world when VÍÍK takes the stage.
