KICKING OFF MUSIC MONDAYS

By in into the woods, music, music mondays, my head is an animal, of monsters and men

The past few months I’ve been focused of blogging about art, design and gadgets while slacking on the music front.

In an effort to bring back music to my readers, I’m instituting Music Mondays. Every Monday I’ll be posting a new song or video to start off your work week.

First up, alt-folk artisans Of Monsters And Men. They’ve set April 3, 2012 as the release date for their album, My Head is an Animal via Universal Republic Records. The new album follows up their critically acclaimed debut Into the Woods EP. Production on the new record was handled by the band as well as Aron Arnaarsson, and Jacquire King [Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse, Cold War Kids], while Craig Silvey [Florence + the Machine, Arcade Fire] handled mixing.

I’m excited for the new album, but in the meantime here are some songs from Into the Woods EP:
