Of Monsters and Men is an Icelandic indie folk/pop band famed for their lush, cinematic sound and rich storytelling in their music. Hailing from the town of Reykjavik, the ensemble first burst onto the international scene with their chart-topping single "Little Talks" from their debut album, "My Head Is An Animal," released in 2011. Comprised of co-lead vocalists Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson, along with band members Brynjar Leifsson, Kristján Páll Kristjánsson, and Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson, they quickly gained recognition for their dynamic instrumentation and powerful vocal harmonies which intertwine to form a distinct soundscape that has captivated a global audience.

Their discography continues to thrive, expanding with albums such as the ethereal "Beneath the Skin" in 2015 and the more electronically-inflected "FEVER DREAM" in 2019. The latter album marked a departure from their folk roots, incorporating a bolder pop and electronic sound. Celebrating a decade of their debut's resounding success, the band released "My Head Is An Animal (10th Anniversary Edition)" showcasing the enduring appeal of their music. Throughout their career, they've maintained a devoted fanbase and have been celebrated through various remixes and special releases, such as the invigorating "Visitor" and its subsequent MUNA remix, and the track "Destroyer," which continues to showcase their evolution as artists. Of Monsters and Men stands as a beacon within the indie music landscape, as they continue to evolve and enchant with their emotive melodies and expansive musical explorations.
