Of Monsters and Men release new song "Visitor"

in

Icelandic indie folk band Of Monsters and Men have unveiled their new single “Visitor” today.

The music video for the single, which was directed by Thora Hilmarsdottir, can be seen below. When it comes to the new single, co-lead vocalist and guitarist Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdottir said:

“‘Visitor’ is a song about disconnection and being on the fringe of change, seeing everything you once knew disappear, and finding yourself in the role of the visitor. It was written and recorded when the world was a completely different place, but the post-apocalyptic world of the video seems fitting. We shot the music video for it in Iceland in the freezing cold of February right before the pandemic hit. We are so very excited to finally share this song with you. Much love.”

This song is the first of many to celebrate the band’s forthcoming 10-year anniversary in 2021. “Visitor” can be streamed here.
