Of Monsters and Men

by Vijith Assar

November 7, 2012

The 2011 debut album from this Icelandic indie folk-pop band combined tricks culled from the Arcade Fire and the Decemberists but avoided the sprawl of either. Group singalongs are present, but only to mask a delicate and rewarding sensitivity. Hope you guys are having fun with the new Mumford & Sons album, but I’ll be off listening to this instead.

Tue., Nov. 20, 8 p.m.; Wed., Nov. 21, 8 p.m., 2012
