Artist: OF MONSTERS AND MEN</br>genre: Popular Music</br>product type: Compact Disc</br>Release Date: 3-APR-2012</br>Returns Accepted?: Yes</br></br>Product Description</br></br>2012 release from the Icelandic outfit formed by singer/guitarist Nanna Brynd??s Hilmarsd?ttir. 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 "gi" _?rhallsson's?? so they started writing songs together and in 2010 morphed into Of Monsters And Men. As victors of 2010's M?siktilraunir?? the new group earned a slot on the influential Iceland Airwaves festival later that year?? followed by Seattle's radio station KEXP posting "tle 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.</br>aal ad
