Of Monsters and Men

About the artist

Of Monsters and Men went from Reykjavík to the global stage with their breakout 2011 debut My Head Is An Animal, which propelled them from Icelandic indie darlings to international chart-toppers. The album’s breakout single “Little Talks,” a defining song for a generation, now boasts over 1 billion Spotify streams, and by 2013, they were making their U.S. TV debut on Saturday Night Live. Amid their meteoric rise, the band released their sophomore album Beneath The Skin in 2015, which debuted in the Top 3 of the Billboard 200 and was accompanied by a surprise cameo on HBO’s huge hit series Game of Thrones. Their cinematic sound has popped up everywhere from The Hunger Games to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, while their festival appearances, Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and more, have only confirmed what fans already knew: this is a band best experienced live and in the wild. They followed with Fever Dream (2019), and in 2022 released the documentary tíu, recorded during the pandemic. It won Best Short at Dumbo, showcasing their roots and returning to places that held meaning when the band first began. The accompanying EP tíu (2022) featured unreleased songs from a decade of making music together. The band has been on a break from OMAM-related projects since 2022, with members pursuing various solo and side projects. They now return, reunited, with their new album All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade (out October 17, 2025.)
