Of Monsters and Men is an up-beat folk band from Iceland. Their rise to fame began when the six band members competed in Músiktilraunir,
which is an Icelandic Battle of the Bands, and won. In the summer of
2011, their first single, “Little Talks”, became number one in Iceland.
The song eventually made its way across the globe, and it is now known
and loved world-wide. In December of 2012, the song was featured in the
singing competition, “The Voice".
Since then, the band has created one studio album, called “My Head is an Animal”. The album contains songs such as “Little Talks”, “Six Weeks”, “Mountain Sound” and “King and Lionheart”. The songs all carry different, unique meanings. While most of the album is upbeat, “Love, Love, Love" veers away from the original theme of adventure and joy. The song’s lyrics deal with heartbreak, and losing someone that you care about. The lyrics of each song vary greatly, and each one usually has to do with an adventure.
Since the success of “My Head is an Animal", Of Monsters and Men have been performing at major music festivals across the globe, including Osheaga. They are also scheduled to play at T in the Park in Scotland in July.
