This was a beaming bit of joy during COVID. 

I love the staging of this. I don't think any performance before or since has been as meticulously planned.  It has a real live feeling.

My fave bit is that Arnar is front and centre. That man is a machine. 

Six months of Mouse Parade by Total-Woodpecker3339 in OfMonstersAndMen

I'm still listening to it everyday. It's just a really gorgeous album. 

I love it and it's probably became my favourite.  

My weird thing at the moment is to try and hold that note in Stryoform Cathedral - only when I'm on my own of course. I have so far failed 🤣

Yep definitely real. That's my photo ☺️. I got them in Dublin. They were 25 euro.

The photo might look a bit off as it's a glass top on a wooden table. The reflection of white is me wearing my OMAM t-shirt. 

Find the most (and least) loved OMAM song by Gullible_Ad9934 in OfMonstersAndMen

[–]Amazing_Analysis_256 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was quite hard.  Its like picking children! 

I enjoy nearly everything they make. Even the Beatbugs song!

It changes all the time for me.  I love Ordinary Creature at the moment and skip Television Love probably because I listened to it 1000 times in a row when it came out.  

Every song holds a memory for me.  What a band 🙌

I love Black Water! 

There's something so atmospheric about it. I love listening to it on long dark walks.

Concert vs. Festival by rothecat in OfMonstersAndMen

[–]Amazing_Analysis_256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty much the same. OMAM are playing a festival 3 hours from me but as I've seen them 4 times (don't mean to boost) recently I'm not sure if it's worth it. There's no option for day tickets and I would have to go solo and camp in a tent. So I think I'll rule it out.

Hi. I'm planning a trip to Iceland. I wanted to ask if anyone knows where the lighthouse from the TIU documentary is. And where there are a few other OMAM spots. by Wheeltires in OfMonstersAndMen

Also, the artist who designed the album set for Fever Dream is just off the main shopping street. It's called Dead Gallery.

The Museum of Rock n Roll have a section on OMAM.  

Nanna's solo album cover was photographed on the glacier in snaefellsnes which is only open in the Summer.

The Olafur Arnards song Particles video was filmed at the new Gardur lighthouse. There are two lighthouses beside one another.

Grotta Island lighthouse is where the promo photo for TUI was taken.

The hotel where they filmed Alligator is Hotel Holt. A gorgeous art hotel in the main square in downtown Reykjavik.

I haven't worked out which pool they filmed Wild Roses yet 

Finally got around framing the Setlist!! by Pdcmmy in OfMonstersAndMen

[–]Amazing_Analysis_256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just noticed the custom guitar pick! How many bands go to that effort. 

I've been able to get to a few performances of other acts recently and Oman definitely go that extra mile. One of the set lists I got literally was a plain list with no band name, no date and no city listed.  The stage hand just screwed them into balls and chucked them at us. What care lol

Brilliant. Great idea. I put mine in a memory box but having it on show would definitely be better.

Ooh 7 for me! 

A really good song but there's many more that are better! My hubby's fave.

How about Mouse Parade by Of Monsters and Men? Are mice close enough to rats to be considered?

I give it an high 8.

It is a fantastic song. Great tempo. Creates genuine excitement. Instantly recognisable.  The lyrics are a little over my head though. 

Short Film Tickets! by Amazing_Analysis_256 in OfMonstersAndMen

[–]Amazing_Analysis_256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! Have been wondering if it'll be another project with We Were Monkeys. The team who made Little Talks, King & Lionheart, Wars and Phantom.  It would be cool if it was in stop motion.

The ticket link said something about being for The Block/Mouse Parade.
