Of Monsters And Men - Fever Dream

Fever Dream is the third studio album by Icelandic indie folk pop band Of Monsters And Men, released in July 2019 via Republic Records.

You think you know the Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men, but you have no idea. Within the first minute of their single 'Alligator' you'll be wondering if this huge anthem is the brainchild of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs fronting Arcade Fire. All thumping drums, brimming guitars and a call-to-arms chorus about taking control.

The album was co-produced by the band with Rich Costey, and was preceded by the lead single "Alligator".

Lead singer Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir said that while writing the album she had grown "really tired" of writing songs on an acoustic guitar as it "brought out things in [me] that were predictable", so she began working on a laptop at home, "figuring out all these new sounds and being curious about them".Nanna said lead single "Alligator" began like a "dance song", but that it is not entirely representative of the album's sound. She described the album as "more poppy and brighter" than the band's previous album, 2015's Beneath the Skin.

This album is a limited edition on clear with pink splatter coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Europe via Republic Records.
