The Top 20 Albums Of 2012

December 18, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I haven’t listened to as many full albums as I usually do this year, especially when it comes to Australian music.

Of Monsters And Men @ The Corner Hotel, 20th Of July

July 22, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

Of Monsters And Men ‘Little Talks’

May 15, 2012 by Lachy 1 Comment

f Iceland is anything like how I imagine it in my head then it is the coolest place in the world. Because as far as I can tell it’s some kind of magical land and musical haven with a disproportionate amount of amazing bands and some pretty sweet scenery as well. The latest band to reinforce this belief is Of Monsters And Men, an Icelandic sextet who released their debut album, ‘My Head Is An Animal’, earlier this year. Since getting my hands on it I have become absolutely obsessed with one song in particular, ’Little Talks’.
