Who is monsters and men

While that post was made some time ago, Of Monsters and Men are pretty notorious for taking their time on any album they are creating. While there is no timeline in sight for the third album, there is still hope for its release in But during the waiting period there is plenty of music to enjoy, and even a TV show to catch Of Monsters and Men on. Where are they now: Of Monsters and Men. Musicians Turned Actors While luckily there is no stop in sight for the band to stop making music, however, during this three-year break, some of the band members started to pursue another medium: acting.

What Might the Future Hold? By Nora Onanian At first there wasn't a clear-cut direction, just diverse ideas informed by five people with very different tastes. Ragnar, for instance, is always influenced by the staying power and sonic identity of a band like The National.

Nanna, on the other hand, took her maverick inspirations from artists equally as integrity driven: Solange and Childish Gambino. It's more open. It gives you more space to explore yourself as a musician. The songs themselves are certainly not brown. They're also not couched in one style. If another wanted to be a rock track we'd allow it to be that. We've never been one thing. These days, we feel free to go to extremes.

Lyrically the album is more personal than ever, which makes sense when Nanna and Ragnar reveal that this is the first album they've written lyrics for apart from one another. In conversation it's hard for them to get too specific on details.

He'll take a thought and run with it to its completion and no longer hides from his feelings. In the past they'd workshop lyrics as a joint exercise until they were masked enough to apply to everyone. For Nanna, her lyrics' meanings reveal themselves to her over time. This time we only came together at the end to help each other where we could. That co-counselling speaks volumes to their friendship, and the power of music within their most intimate dialogue.

Despite the struggles, the band wanted the songs to contain more light and joy — a catharsis to push through the anxieties they're expressing. The way in which Nanna's voice relates that dialogue to the world is the most evolved of anything here. It's almost beyond recognition. Her voice growls like there's something between her teeth.

It's a confidence thing, admits Nanna. Sign In. Play trailer Crime Drama Thriller. Director Reinaldo Marcus Green.
