Of Monsters and Men is a six-piece indie folk/indie pop band from Iceland, formed in 2010. The members include Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, Ragnar Þórhallsson, Brynjar Leifsson, Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson, Árni Guðjónsson, Kristján Páll Kristjánsson, and Ragnhildur Gunnarsdóttir. They won the Músíktilraunir in 2010 and released their debut album "My Head Is an Animal" in 2011. The album reached No. 6 on the US Billboard 200 chart and produced the hit single "Little Talks."
In addition to their success in the US, Of Monsters and Men's music also gained popularity in Europe. Their unique blend of indie folk and pop elements resonated with audiences worldwide.
The band's energetic performances showcase their musical talents as they captivate fans with catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. With each release, Of Monsters and Men continues to solidify their place in the indie music scene.

2012 release from the Icelandic outfit formed by singer/guitarist Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir. Their rapid rise transpired in just one year. Nanna, who began as the acoustic act Songbird, recruited extra hands to bolster her sound for a solo show. She liked how her vocals commingled with guitarist/vocalist Ragnar "Raggi" Þórhallsson's, so they started writing songs together and in 2010 morphed into Of Monsters and Men. As victors of 2010's Músiktilraunir, the new group earned a slot on the influential Iceland Airwaves festival later that year, followed by Seattle's radio station KEXP posting "Little Talks" from a Living Room Session filmed there, setting the telltale ripple effect in motion. Though their reach is growing broader, the group's appeal has remained distinct: Their music is as fantastical as it is pretty.
