Hailing From Budapest, Mörk (pronounced ‘Merk’) play on the boundaries of jazz and soul music. Taken from their imminent Astral Visions EP, the band took to the studio to record a live session of the title track's “desert-surf-psychedelia”.

Guitarist and lead vocalist Mark Zentai says: "The title track of this EP is also the newest song. It came as a surprise, fully written by our bassist, Jason Balint. It’s a ballad about the small and insignificant nature of earthly existence, and about how from this perspective, the universe seems infinitely vast and incomprehensible".

Astral Visions EP is released on 2 April via London's Albert's Favourites label - see the video below and for more info visit thisismork.bandcamp.com/album/astral-visions
