| Of Monsters and Men |
Lighting up the Which Stage on Friday afternoon for an hour
was Of Monsters and Men, an Icelandic pop and folk band with their own very
unique sound. While their 2011 album
launched them into stardom in Europe and Australia, this five piece group is in
the midst of gaining popularity in the United States. Of Monsters and Men is led by Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson on acoustic guitar and vocals. They are backed by Brynjar Leifsson on
lead guitar, Kristján Páll Kristjánsson on bass, and Arnar Rósenkranz
Hilmarsson on drums.
Of Monsters and Men
is one of those bands that is fits only a very specific niche at a large scale
music festival such as Bonnaroo, but the crowd full of American youths signify
the demand for such odd Nordic music.
