It may sound a little strange, but the title and beating heart of Icelandic indie-folk collective, Of Monsters and Men’s, fourth album hits a lot closer to home than you’d expect.
A tapestry of stories, moments, and conversations, the album explores how love and pain intertwine. Feelings that might seem at odds with each other, but co-exist simultaneously and need one another. Tales both big and small — from the loneliness and longing of living in a block surrounded by strangers, to missed connections in a grocery store, to the lives and losses of a community of mice in a vacant house during winter.
