Of Monsters and Men
's 2012 full-length debut,
My Head Is an Animal
, features more of the Icelandic band's acoustic-driven alt-rock featured on their 2011 EP
Into the Woods
. Showcasing the dual singer/guitarist/songwriters

, and

, elsewhere we get the cinematic build of "King and Lionheart," the catchy,
Florence + the Machine
-sounding singalong "Mountain Sound," and the reverb-laden "Lakehouse." There's even the very '60s Celtic folk-meets-
