"Delivering these songs using everything from glockenspiels to Motown drums, chants and stomping feet, they turn campfire singalongs into skyscraping anthems, the contrast between male and female vocalists Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson making them sound something like a fusion of Cyndi Lauper, the Cardigans and Arcade Fire. Songs about beasts and forests abound with joy, but with a less tangible, mournful undercurrent that gives them an otherwordly, magical quality."
- The Guardian
My Head Is an Animal is the debut studio album by the Icelandic indie folk band Of Monsters and Men. After their success, topping the Icelandic charts with their debut single, "Little Talks", the band signed with Universal Music Group and the album was released internationally through Republic Records on 3 April 2012. The title of the album comes from the second line in "Dirty Paws".
To celebrate a decade since the arrival of the album, the "10th Anniversary Edition" is presented with a total of four tracks that were not on the 2012 Universal release, including two never-before-released songs: “Phantom” and “Sugar In A Bowl.”
