Bio
VOLA are explorers in sound. The quintet hunts and takes down rainbows from the sky, loads them on their backs and carries them to a black and white world where sudden contrasts shoot up like surreal architecture. A process, in which indefinable but colourful and musical creatures are shaped and given life. The band exists in a borderline area of music, where the elegance is portrayed in the clash of the complex, heavy and ballistic, and the melancholic, reflective and mellow. VOLA blends earth-shaking walls of guitar, itchy synth lines and insistingly grooving drums with soothing vocal harmonies and moments of sparkling, deep blue-textured electronica. From a distance this may look like an unhandy and inaccessible being, but it is also a being that you can get to know well, if you dare to dive into the soundscapes and take a closer peek. It is not for everybody, but possibly for you. Welcome.
Members

Influences
Sounds Like
"The quintet builds their sound on a incredibly atmospheric, mellow, ambient soundscape rich with electronic effects, and pulls the listener down the rabbits hole with almost post-rock-ish moods, before spicing things up with battering riffs that make the ground quiver. What does that remind you off? Really, the reason I'm asking is because I have a hard time drawing justified parallels to any other band I know. I guess VOLA are just pretty damn special?" - ROCKFREAKS.NET
