Of Monsters and Men vocalist Nanna is unveiling their debut album this spring.

Announced today, How To Start A Garden will be released on May 5 via Republic Records. The 11-track album was produced by Nanna alongside Aaron Dessner (The National, Taylor Swift) and Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman, War on Drugs, Hiss Golden Messenger).

A new single from the record titled “Crybaby” is available with a music video directed by Thora Hilmarsdottir, who previously worked with Of Monsters and Men. Nanna said this about the new song:

“I wrote the song in my cabin. I had gone there to spend some time alone, and I remember lying on my floor playing the guitar and feeling sorry for myself. It felt dramatic and a bit funny, so I called the song ‘Crybaby’ as a way of making fun of myself. This influenced a lot of the record, this thing of not taking yourself so seriously when you feel very serious.”

When it comes to the album’s creation, Nanna said:

“A lot of things had to end for this album to become what it is,” said Nanna. A long term relationship, my prior sense of home and belonging. But it’s also an ode to the joy of new beginnings: new relationships, a new home, new friendships, a new sense of self. The album takes place in this in-between state. It captures a very specific time in my life of curiosity and reflection, when I felt very much in the middle of a surreal new reality and didn’t have a clear path in my direction—like how a snowstorm is somehow chaotic but calm at the same time.”
