OF MONSTERS AND MEN have premiered their new music video for “Crystals” today.
“Crystals” is the first single from the group’s anxiously anticipated second full-length record, Beneath The Skin, in stores everywhere and available through all digital partners on June 9, 2015.
In the video directed by Arni & Kinski and shot in Iceland the band performs the enigmatic and entrancing anthem amidst a breathtaking and intricate backdrop. On the new video the band says "Working with Icelandic directors and an Icelandic crew was a new and enjoyable thing for us. Being able to communicate in Icelandic made this a relaxed experience. Now it's time to share the video with the world and we hope people like it!"
“Crystals” continues to shine for OF MONSTERS AND MEN. Since its VEVO debut, the equally stunning lyric video has amassed over 2.5 million YouTube/VEVO views and counting. This video was followed by “I Of The Storm” and adds to the band’s already 200 million views accumulated on their YouTube/VEVO channel.
The band is currently on a sold out headlining tour of the U.S. giving audiences an intimate first look at the new music as well as making stops at music’s major festivals including: Sasquatch, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits as well as headlining sold out stops overseas.
