New folkish band from Iceland, I'd say it very simple: Mumford & Sons + Sigur Ros = Of Monsters and Men!! They're amazing, and they have the little touch of craziness that M&Sons are missing,it's like the Mumfords fronted by Bjork or Jonsi They're under Universal's wing so big promo/push this year... and you can already see their debut single (Little Talks) has a spectacular video: there's a bunch of great live clips from some radio like Love Love Love: or one of my favs, Lakehouse: EDIT: forgot to say, all credit to CT, who mentioned them first and made me go and investigate!!!!

The big push is starting 'Little Talks' is now deleted from Amazon and iTunes and Spotify, well annoying. Think I have an mp3 of it at home somewhere but not on my iphone
