Var (stylised Vår) is a Danish post-punk/dark-wave project whose lineup includes Elias Bender Rønnenfelt and Loke Rahbek; their debut album No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers was released in 2013.

Debut album No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers (2013) reviewed on DeBaser; associated names mentioned in reviews include Elias Bender Rønnenfelt (Iceage), Loke Rahbek (Lust for Youth), Kristian Emdal (Lower) and Lukas Hojland (Pagan Youth). The band has been linked to the Sacred Bones label in reviews.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Var's 2013 debut for its dark post-punk/darkwave mood and synth-driven, occasionally industrial textures. Critics compare the band to Joy Division, The Cure and New Order while noting lo-fi/approximate production and brief album length. Overall reception in these reviews is favourable (both 4/5).

 There are no hyper-spatial synthesizers strangling synapses; the keyboards are lugubrious and dark, creating suffocating and jagged landscapes.

 the answer is: no, dark can never die, at least as long as an industrialized and alienating society exists, made up of sad suburbs, and it harbors within itself dissatisfied and hopeless youth.
