Today the multi-platinum quintet Of Monsters and Men has returned with a brand new single called “Visitor”. In early 2021 the band will release a work that will celebrate its 10th anniversary, and “Visitor” is the first foretaste of this release.
Commenting on “Visitor”, co-lead singer and guitarist Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir commented: “Visitor” is a song about separation and on the verge of change, the disappearance of everything you once knew and the role of the visitor. It was written and recorded when the world was a completely different place, but the post-apocalyptic world of video seems fitting. We shot the music video for it in Iceland in the freezing cold of February just before the pandemic. We are very excited to finally share this song with you. Much love.
The video focuses on the breathtaking landscape of the band’s homeland when it was filmed in Iceland by local director Thora Hilmars. The video shows the band performing in an icy airplane holder while Nanna and the band perform at dawn as the song’s emotionally charged hooks talk about life in transition.
