Of Monsters and Men announce new album, share new single and North American tour dates with Boston, MA stop
Today, Icelandic indie-folk icons Of Monsters and Men return with their new self-produced single, “Ordinary Creature.” Written on a summer night in Iceland and recorded in their studio there, the track is their second release of 2025 following “Television Love,” which came out on July 1st.
About the song, the band shares: “Ordinary Creature is about the feeling of yearning for that someone that brings you comfort. It’s about when you start feeling better after a period of not feeling so great. That moment when you start coming back to yourself again and remembering what it’s like to be an ordinary creature.”
Directed by Erlendur Sveinsson, the accompanying music video captures the band during a summer night and early morning in Iceland, as they ride through the quiet streets of the tiny coastal town of Selvogur.
Alongside the new track, the band have also announced All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade, their first full-length album in six years, set for release on October 17th.
The band has also announced an extensive North American tour, with major stops in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Nashville, and more. A full list of dates is available below.
