'Of Monsters and Men' on career and music evolution

The Icelandic group "Of Monsters and Men" sat down with Ben Tracy to celebrate a decade since their breakthrough success and to open up about how their music has evolved since then.

“CBS Saturday Morning” co-hosts Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson deliver two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts.

I saw them on minneapolis, i even met them the night before their show. They offered to buy me a beer. Genuine people and still remains my favorite band of all time.

Love that this band is still going strong! I saw them in 2013 at Coachella and they exuded such great energy, it was a simple and straightforward set (no lights or pyrotechnics or anything fancy) but their music struck such a wonderful and harmonious chord. One of the best concerts I've been to, hands down, the vibe was great. Plus Nanna was so sweet and thanked the crowd after every song, it was very endearing.

Thank you to the producers of this piece for putting together wonderful memories of this great band. The new pieces played on the CBS show this morning are just beautiful! Definitely a download gift suggestion for the holiday season!

I first heard their music in a local bar. First it was Little Talks. Then it was Mountain Sound and then I was hooked. Then I discovered Slow and Steady and I’ve now listened to that song a thousand times if not more. I’m thankful that Beneath the Skin came out because Black Water is my current favorite song of theirs. The music videos for several songs off that album were beautiful and inspirational to say the least.

Now lately I’ve been enjoying listening to Visitor. I’m very excited to hear whatever they have for the future.

When I heard Alligator It proved to me and the World that Of Monsters and Men are the REAL DEAL. It's such an amazing, well written song. As a musician I am impressed. I love all of their break through songs. But Alligator. WOW!!!

Really nice! I wish it was longer though. It was good to see Nanna opening up a litte bit at 3:40 :)

I am glad I found them years ago. Among my favorite bands.

Sad songs are poetic and can be primal for me. Its a part of life and i grasp my sadness and happiness too. Their music is very moving in many ways. Its healthy to feel pain as well as love, all emotions have their time.

[LoudnessInc]

I watched them years ago and I must say they were the best band I’ve ever seen, next to Snoop Dogg. It was magical and so energetic! I would love to see them again!

The Story of Fire Saga inspired me to visit Iceland so I spent this summer over there.
Icelanders are about the most optimistic people I have ever met in my life.. And my gawd the woman are beautiful!
