Jun 9, 2015This album has the feel of a “for us” record, one that rewards the band for making it and decides that it’s okay to create something deeply personal and a little self-indulgent.
-
Jun 4, 2015The lyrics are tighter, more poetic and speak volumes of a band that have something quite specific to express.

Jun 5, 2015On the surface Of Monsters And Men’s second album is a lush master-class in pop sensibilities and folk storytelling but Beneath The Skin is more than a name. Scratch below that glittering surface and you’ll discover a band that has discovered themselves.

Jun 15, 2015The band hasn't lost its sense of wonder--it's just seeing the world through a more realistic lens.
