Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws
Iceland! Iceland! What do you put in your water? You give me Björk, Sigur Rós, Emilíana Torrini and now Of Monsters and Men?
This sextet’s first album is like this perfect smorgasbord of indie music. Little bit of Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons, sprinkle of Florence & the Machine and a touch of the xx. Admittedly, Dirty Paws is not their catchiest song (that award goes to Little Talks) but I think it best represents the album as a whole. I also love how evocative the lyrics are.
Their new album, My Head is an Animal, is only available in Iceland but it’s slated for an early 2012 US release. To tide you over, you should check out their EP Into The Woods.
p.s. Oh and did I forget to mention that their song, “Little Talks” is the free single of the week on iTunes?

About me
I'm a person who lives in Brisbane Australia, who works for a company but hates corporations, who drives a car but hates excessive use of fossil fuels, who reads a lot about excess and extremes and hates the ordinary, who creates music but never practices, who loves music but hates commercial radio, who loves being challenged but hates being told what to do, who is aware but apathetic. I am a music and technology geek and love anything artistic, expressive, clever, intense and philosophical.
