Of Monsters And Men Share Wild “Alligator” Music Video
Of Monsters And Men are getting ready to release their first album in four years, Fever Dream. After dropping lead single “Alligator” two months ago, the band has just shared its feral new music video.
“Alligator” starts with a gradual, epic buildup, guitars chiming as drums pound in. A cry of “ha!” really kicks things off, strong and fierce with a bit of distortion to darken the sound. The music and even vocal delivery feel very 1990s, harkening back to the alternative rock sound that dominated that decade’s radio airwaves. Meanwhile, frontwoman Nanna Hilmarsdóttir sings about feeling restless and losing control in a fever dream. It’s a song that inspires passionate singing along.
Its new music video – directed by Shih-Ting Hung – matches the 1990s vibe, feeling like it would have fit right in on MTV 25 years ago. The band is at a hotel, Nanna asleep in bed as her dreams bleed into reality. She wanders the halls, finding her bandmates’ faces covered by creepy masks. Nanna herself is wearing a shimmering, scaly white dress, while her fingers and toes sport reptilian claws. It’s an eldritch visual that brings the “fever dreaming” motif to life.
