Beyond the more traditional instruments, we hear the trumpet, accordion, some use of the battery, ... but it's always very subtle and gives an obvious dimension to the song.
I fell in love with Little Talks and I discovered other securities and the group on the Internet. I only love them more and more. Dirty Paws, King and Lionhearth, so beautiful ... so many unique pieces that take you elsewhere. This is rare but it is an album which I appreciate all the pieces. One feels they love what they do and they share the good.
I'm not a fan of music that I find a bit dark - the songs are based on the counts - but if you look at any group of live video on Youtube, you will definitely fall under their spell; one can only have sympathy or friendship towards them. They like to sing and share their songs with their audience, obviously. They are smiling, friendly, ...
It is very rare that I buy an album, but in the case of Of Monsters and Men, it really made me happy.
Another great group from the north, after Abba, Roxette and Ace of Base (the styles are very different, make no mistake: Of Monsters and Men is more than Folk Pop).
Spoil yourself!
