Of Monsters and Men

Stomping percussion and soaring brass meet mythic storytelling. Anthemic indie folk that feels like a cold wind blowing through a warm house.

Intro

Formed in Garður, Iceland, in 2010, Of Monsters and Men is an indie folk and pop group featuring members Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, Ragnar Þórhallsson, Brynjar Leifsson, Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson, and Kristján Páll Kristjánsson. Following their 2010 Músíktilraunir victory, the band gained international prominence with their 2011 hit Little Talks. They have since released four studio albums, including My Head Is an Animal and 2025's All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade.
