Moving on. This week's post is dedicated to a group that I am absolutely enamored with. The Icelandic indie folk group Of Monsters and Men stole my heart with their song "Little Talks." The lyrics, combined with the loveliness of the male and female (Raggi & Nanna!) voices melted me into a puddle of slushy feelings and oh god why won't anyone love me, I'm going to be alone together with this stupid cat and I hate my life! Thank god that's over with.
Ahem. Moving on, again. Their album My Head is an Animal is flawless. I listen to it nearly all day in the office and it doesn't upset me to hear it again at home, which is a rare gift of an album. I could keep talking about their greatness, but I am going to offer you one more song to let you hear for yourself. That's right. I'm telling you what to do. Another favorite, "Dirty Paws." And this video happens to be amazingly rad.
Are you in love yet?
Loving "little talks"...it's my summer song 2012. I hear it every day at least four times on the radio even though they claim they don't repeat songs...yeah! Cannot get enough of it which could drive me crazy...just a little bit. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are now my music guru...Because, I've never heard of them (yes, I've let myself get THAT old) and they're great. I might of heard Little Talks on 94.9 it sounds kind of familiar but probably not.
ReplyDeleteSo I am obsessed with their single but this other song isn't blowing me away. BUT I am always like that. I have to "get used to" music. I will say that I want to punch these people in the face. I hate that girl's hair and their clothes bother me. Does that make me a bad person? Yeah, well I know I am a bad person lol. I want to listen more!
ReplyDeleteI must live in a gigantic hole filled with 80s hair and music.
ReplyDeleteOh my hell, I'm listening to my shuffle, I have to pause it for this.. don't you let me down. DON'T DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT.
ReplyDeleteI love Of Monsters and Men! Andy calls Little Talks his "jam".
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Little Talks and I finally gave in and got the album a week ago. Good stuff!
