"... sounds like a natural extension of (the debut album) and coaxes sounds and lyricism that are a shade darker than the debut ... dips its toe in a more electric sound, but still relies on acoustic instrumentation as its foundation."
- Consequence of Sound
Four years after the band's quadruple-platinum debut album comes Beneath The Skin, the sophomore release from Icelandic outfit Of Monsters And Men. The lead single Crystals is another powerfully beautiful anthem, expanding the signature sound countless fans fell in love with. The group spent a year working on Beneath The Skin with co-producer Rich Costey (Muse, Foster The People, Interpol) between studios in Iceland and Los Angeles.
"I want to expand. There's no way we can create an album like we did. It's just the love child of that period, kind of, because we were (just) forming."
- Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, singer
