Following up the success of their 2011 album My Head Is an Animal, Icelandic folk-poppers Of Monsters and Men are back with a new album called Beneath the Skin. It dropped June 9 on Republic Records and now they’ve shared a lyric video for its somber, minimal track “Organs.”
The Addi Atlondres-directed video is all about co-vocalist and guitarist Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, who narrates the song’s piercing lyrics. Here’s a sample: “So I take off my face because it reminds me how it all went wrong and I pull out my tongue because it reminds me how it all went wrong.”
