Of Monsters & Mens

You may have heard rumblings about Of Monsters & Men across the "blogosphere" or if your Icelandic, this will more then likely be old news. For the rest of us, Of Monsters & Men of Iceland have been creating a lot buzz in North America with their single "Little Talks", which sounds as if it was created by the illegitimate lovechild of Edward Sharpe and Magnetic Zero's and Mumford and Son's. Their debut album My Head Is An Animal was released in September of this year in Iceland and does not have a official North American released date as of yet, however "Little Talks" is available through iTunes or you can download it via Soundcloud for free. In the mean time, check out "Little Talks", "Dirty Paws" and "King and Lionheart" below and keep posted for more information on a full release date and tour information. Happy listening!
