Interview: Of Monsters and Men on New Album, Summer Plans

By Johnny Firecloud

Los Angeles rock station KROQ threw a hell of a party this year at their annual KROQ Weenie Roast festival at the Verizon Ampitheater in Irvine, CA. In addition to powerful showings from AWOLNATION, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Black Keys, Imagine Dragons and more, Icelandic folk-rockers Of Monsters and Men delivered a rousing set that centered on their inescapable radio smash “Little Talks”.

Taking a few minutes with CraveOnline just prior to taking the stage at this year’s Weenie Roast, Of Monsters and Men discussed their plans for a new record and the writing process behind it, as well as what they’re most looking forward to this Summer – check it out below.
