Of Monsters and Men es una banda islandesa ganadora del Músiktilraunir (una competencia de bandas islandesas) el 2010. El nombre de la banda se ajusta a la letra de sus canciones, que en su mayoría cuentan la historia de todo tipo de monstruos y de humanos. La banda indie/folk se compone de 6 miembros, y se hicieron ampliamente conocidos gracias a que su canción "Little Talks" fue difundida por la radio KEXP, luego de grabarla en el festival Iceland Airwaves el 2011.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

*Now here are the chords played throughout
[Verse 1]
Em When the words DCD Weigh heavy on the heart Em I am lost DCD And led only by the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
C Cage me like an animal D A crown with gems and gold C Eat me like a cannibal D Chase the neon throne
[Chorus]
EmD Breathe in, breathe out C Let the human in EmD Breathe in, breathe out C And let it in EmD Plants awoke and they slowly grow C Beneath the skin EmD So breathe in, breathe out C Let the human in
[Verse 2]
EmD The air is silk CD Shadows form a grin EmD If I lose control CD I feed the beast within
[Pre-Chorus]
C Cage me like an animal D A crown with gems and gold C Eat me like a cannibal D Chase the neon throne
[Chorus]
EmD Breathe in, breathe out C Let the human in EmD Breathe in, breathe out C And let it in EmD Plants awoke and they slowly grow C Beneath the skin EmD So breathe in, breathe out C Let the human in
