A timely release by Of Monsters And Men, reminding us just what a talented bunch they are, with this live footage from Stopp, an environmental awareness fundraiser in Reykjavík. Performing Little Talks, the addition of a piano and subtraction of acoustic guitars makes it sound more like a gloomy Sigur Rós number than the upbeat, folksy original that emitted sun rays the world over last year. But it's a beautiful rendition that I feel tightens our attention to the last echo and grips our emotions just a little more. The band have been working on a second album and I can't wait for new material to drop, not to mention to catch them on the road as a supremely skilled live act.
