Of Monsters and Men are back with a new single.
Reflective with acoustic guitars and rich vocal harmonies, Television Love was written and recorded at the indie-folk band's studio in Iceland. It marks their first proper single since their 2022 EP 'Tíu' that accompanied the short documentary of the same name.
Head below to view the song's accompanying video, directed by Erlendur Sveinsson and shot on 35mm film during the endless daylight of the Icelandic summer. The band said:
"We’re so excited to share our song Television Love. For the past few years, we’ve been tucked away in our studio quietly making music, and it feels really good to finally let people in on what we’ve been up to. At its core, Television Love is a conversation between two people stretched across time. The song has been with us for a while and when we were working in our studio we’d visit the song at different moments in our lives. Each time it felt like we had something new to share and add to the song’s story. Life happens, things change, hopelessness turns into hope. The sonic landscape and the conversation became layered with our own history."
Discussing the video, they explained: "We shot the music video with director Erlendur Sveinsson. It’s centered around a conversation at a dinner table, with the band and the table moving through time and space, through chaos and calm, all while being both connected and disconnected from the surroundings.
"The video was shot entirely on 35mm film during a summer night in Iceland. Because it was filmed around the solstice, we were able to stay up until the early morning without the sun ever going down. It was a strange, kind of timelessness that felt just right for Television Love."
Of Monsters and Men released their latest studio album, and third overall, 'Fever Dream', in 2019.
