Vår is an enigmatic and genre-blurring music project that emerged from the Copenhagen underground scene, garnering attention with a sound that is both haunting and evocative. The band was originally formed by Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, Loke Rahbek, Kristian Emdal, and Lukas Højland. Vår's sonic landscape is a fusion of synth-driven melodies, stark post-punk rhythms, and an experimental approach to production that borders on the avant-garde. Their music often explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human emotion, delivered through a combination of evocative lyrics and a transformative soundscape.

Their 2013 debut album, "No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers," was met with critical acclaim for its raw emotionality and unique aesthetic, establishing Vår as a band that defies easy categorization. The album title hints at an introspective exploration of personal and collective identities, wrapped in the synth-laden beats that make their music accessible yet deeply layered. The subsequent singles "God Made Flesh" and "More Days" continued this exploration, nudging the boundaries of their sound further into an ethereal mixture of industrial and synth-wave elements. Vår's work is characterized by a constant tension between the intimate and the industrial, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with a wide array of listeners who are drawn to their moody and atmospheric storytelling.
