Of Monsters And Men

Iceland has given the world some particularly distinctive musicians -- including Bjork and Sigur Ros. Now, we're hearing from the Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men. The indie folk act has had a quick rise, from playing a battle of the bands in Reykkavik, to having a Top 10 album in the U.S. and a hit song, "Little Talks."
The seven piece group piles into the studio to perform songs off its record, My Head Is An Animal. Plus, they share the true story of 19th century survivalism that inspired the song "Six Weeks."
Set List:
- "Mountain Sound"
- "King And Lionheart"
- "Six Weeks"
