about
King Viktor is the brainchild of close friends Tom Stokx and Arno De Ros, born in 2018 as part of the healing process after the passing of Stokx’ father. Originally a live band of four, King Viktor soon evolved into its present line-up: a duo blending indie rock with shoegaze and dream pop, inspired by their love for bands like Slowdive, Radiohead and My Bloody Valentine. First single ‘Riptide’ is a highly addictive beauty with dreamy guitars and synths, and the velvety voice of Joachim Liebens, Stokx’ band mate in The Haunted Youth.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

I am so excited to have discovered this band. Their songs are the epitome of shoegaze to me. The vocals are subtle and mesmerizing, and the music is melodic but hazy. I can't wait to hear more from this group. SnorriSputnik
