From Reykjavik with Love - Of Monsters and Men

The first time I heard Of Monsters and Men, I was walking our dogs through a local park and the song Little Talks (see below) came on and hit me like a shot of Brennivín. What ensued was not necessarily a jig, a line dance, or a grapevine, but something in between the three. I received a cold look from my dogs a warm feeling in my heart, like that of a friendly Reykjavik fire in February. This Icelandic indie folk band is about to blow up here in the states and you better jump on this bandwagon before they Mumford on you. I wanted to feature Of Monsters and Men as a Tastiest of 2011 band, but their album doesn't drop here for another month or so. In the mean time, here some of my favorites from the band thus far. I Cannot wait for the full LP.


All of these songs were recorded in a hostel in Reykjavik, which makes them way cooler.  
First off, here's the song that made me dance in the first place, Little Talks Of Monsters And Men – Little Talks

"I don't like walking around this old and empty house.
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear"
