We say
Little Talks has already become a massive worldwide hit having sold over 1.5 million units. Upon release the album went to No.1 on the US, Canadian and German iTunes charts, making Of Monsters And Men the second biggest selling alt act of 2012, behind only Gotye in the US. As the UK release hots up, this gem picks up where set up record Dirty Paws left off, with incredible Radio 1 support from Fearne Cotton (her Record Of The Week), Huw Stephens, Annie Mac, and Nick Grimshaw. This is a big crossover record, sitting pretty on the Absolute, 6Music and Xfm playlists and climbing sharply to No.10 on Shazam’s pre-release chart. The six-piece’s forthcoming show at Electric Ballroom (August 22) has sold out, their third London show to do so this year. There are no signs of slowing, with MTV confirming them as their Push artist for August and their official video for Little Talks already being viewed an astronomical 15 million times since February 2012. Little Talks has just won the 88th World Song Contest.Contact
