King & Lionheart

Of Monsters & Men

Universal/Island

WE SAY

Proving that fourth singles need not be a lacklustre end to an album project, Of Monsters & Men release King And Lionheart from their multi-award winning debut album My Head Is An Animal on March 4. The video, directed by WeWereMonkeys (the same duo behind Little Talks), has already notched up an impressive 1.3 million views - still some way short of the eye-watering 50 million tally of the VMA-nominated video for their first single, named iTunes' Alternative Single of the Year for 2012 with 3 million sales to its name. Having sold over 1.2 million albums worldwide and with a sold-out UK tour starting in Dublin on February 21, the band have just announced two headline club shows at Bournemouth Academy on July 2 and Bexhill-on-Sea's De La Warr Pavillion on July 3.

London gig: March 5/6/7 (sold out), Shepherds Bush Empire W12
