Icelandic indie folk pop band Of Monsters and Men deliver an album of rousing, epic, inspired songs in Beneath the Skin. Filled with space and broad landscapes the album is a charge to the soul with warm instrumentation and lush harmonies. Songs like “Wolves Without Teeth,” “Crystals,” “I of the Storm,” and “Hunger” are filled with emotion, lament, and passion, hardwiring their way to your heart. I played this album endlessly upon its release, making it the perfect album for the golden hour and beyond. A beautiful sonic exploration that calms in one moment and rallies the next.
