Song of the Day: Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws

I was very confused when I heard that Icelandic indie-poppers Of Monsters and Men, who were featured in this week’s Future Pop, were not releasing their online/US hit Little Talks as their first UK single. However, it all made sense when I heard the lovely song they are releasing instead. I’m already imagining an adorable video too.
This week’s Future Pop features Iggy Azalea, Rudimental and Of Monsters and Men.
Song of the Day: Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks

I love a good male/female duet and this one is quite lovely. I do feel like I’ll get bored of it fairly quickly, but I can imagine it being a hit. And it seems Universal Republic (one of the American divisions of Universal) agree with me, as they’ve just signed Of Monsters and Men. Little Talks is a couple of years old, but it’s getting an increasing amount of attention so a re-release seems like the obvious plan. It’ll be nice to have a new Icelandic group on the scene, if only so we get to hear them speaking English in an Icelandic accent, possibly most delightful accent in the world.
