This 2019 performance captures Icelandic indie-folk giants Of Monsters and Men during their 'Fever Dream' tour, a series of shows that showcased a powerful evolution in their sound. Hailing from Iceland, the band first charmed the world with the infectious, accordion-laced single "Little Talks" and their platinum-selling debut album, 'My Head Is an Animal'. This concert, however, finds them embracing a bolder, more anthemic rock identity. The set is fueled by the driving energy of their third album, 'Fever Dream', which introduced a heavier reliance on electric guitars and thumping rhythms, evident in tracks like "Alligator".
The performance is a testament to their reputation as a formidable live act. The dual vocal interplay between Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson remains at the heart of their appeal, creating a rich, layered sound that fills the venue. While they deliver the grand, singalong choruses that made them festival favorites, this show also highlights their dynamic range, moving from moments of quiet introspection to explosive, cathartic peaks. It’s a snapshot of a band confidently exploring new sonic territory while celebrating the folk-inspired storytelling that first earned them a global following.
