When most of think of the music scene in Iceland we think of very intense emotional music that comes from lonely souls in the middle of the cold Atlantic ocean, with great artists as Björk, Sigur Ros, and Jonsi solo project. Recently the coup of kids in Iceland have been continuing to produce new and unique music that could only come from being isolated and living on an island with only 100.000 other people.
Of Monster and Men, are one of the new sounds coming of the island and making their way through Scandinavia. A little more upbeat with wonderful harmonies, perfect for a bicycle ride home. They are one of my Summer favorites. Plus they have a great name.
Love it?
