If you haven't already succumbed to the charms of Icelandic six piece Of Monsters and Men then brace yourself. With a top ten album in the US Billboard charts and a number one here in Ireland, Of Monsters and Men are a band on the rise. They have shot to prominence on the back of this debut album My Head is an Animal and it is easy to see why. Their brand of acoustic based folk pop whimsy seems to have captured the zeitgeist right now, but it would be wrong to dismiss Of Monsters and Men as some passing fad - My Head is an Animal is a magnificent collection of rousing and heartfelt pop songs.
