VØVK - neue Single und Video "Mur"
Ukrainian progressive rock/post-hc band Vøvk will release their upcoming new full-length record, "Litera", on October 3 via kontrabass.
Today, the band presents their third single, "Mur", accompanied by a monochrome music video. The song reflects the emotional landscape of the first days of the Russian full-scale invasion, when daily life shrank to the narrow corridors of apartments, and people sought comfort in fragile illusions of safety.
In an in-depth statement, the band shares: "In the first days of the full-scale invasion, our lives narrowed to the corridors of our apartments, where between two walls we built our own fortresses. Onto mattresses and sleeping bags we slowly dragged books, laptops, dishes – as if trying to fill this space with a new life. Every evening, scrolling through the news feed, we believed that the night would erase the horror, and the morning would bring a different reality, like waking up from a nightmare. These feelings shaped the song ‘Mur’ – our naïve, almost childlike faith that tomorrow is near, just one dream away."

Built on hypnotic rhythms and dynamic contrasts, "Mur" captures the duality of fear and hope: aggression and tension coexist with lullaby-like calmness. This duality is also reflected in the song's title, which holds multiple meanings:
Mur - Ukrainian word for "wall". A fortress wall raised by the song’s lyrical hero;
Mur - from the Ukrainian word for "ants", the creatures that populate the track;
Mur - a muffled murmur, a whisper that resonates throughout the song.
The video illustrates the threshold between harsh reality and dream, offering a glimpse of escape into a fragile, imagined peace. As a part of the upcoming album, "Mur" symbolizes awakening - the breakthrough of new life through devastation, embodying both vulnerability and resilience.
