Listen To MUNA Remix Of Monsters And Men’s ‘Visitor’
The original version of the Icelandic band’s latest single has been making a strong impression with nearly 4 million global streams and rising.
Icelandic quintet Of Monsters and Men have teamed up with American indie pop band MUNA for the official remix of “Visitor.” The MUNA remix brings a different perspective to the track while retaining its enchanting sonic vibe. You can check it out below.
Released last month, “Visitor” has already been making a strong impression with nearly 4 million global streams, capturing No. 1 Greatest Gainer at radio coming in at No. 16 at Triple A and No. 30 at Alternative. The success adds to the band’s nearly 4.6 billion global streams across their impressive catalogue and “Visitor” is the first song off a new body of work coming at the top of 2021 in celebration of the group’s tenth anniversary together.
Regarding “Visitor,” co-lead vocalist and guitarist Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir commented, “‘Visitor’ is a song about disconnection and being on the fringe of change, seeing everything you once knew disappear, and finding yourself in the role of the visitor. It was written and recorded when the world was a completely different place, but the post-apocalyptic world of the video seems fitting. We shot the music video for it in Iceland in the freezing cold of February right before the pandemic hit. We are so very excited to finally share this song with you. Much love.”
The new single sets the stage for 2021 when the band will celebrate 10 years of being together with more new music and other exciting content for fans. It brings everything full circle for the band with a bold new body of work.
In 2019, the group welcomed listeners into the embrace of their critically acclaimed third full-length album, Fever Dream. Not only did the record tally 80 million-plus total streams to date, but it also attracted acclaim from Billboard, NPR, The Line of Best Fit, Independent, Paste, and more.
Clash Magazine claimed, “The songs also have an emotional content to them that is hard to ignore.” Q Magazine praised it as “a dizzying rush of exuberance and emotion…their transformation into an arena-ready pop beast is complete.” Notably, the single “Alligator” made history by completing “their quickest climb to #1 on the Adult Alternative Songs Airplay Chart,” as reported by Billboard. In addition to selling out dates coast-to-coast on the Fever Dream Tour, the group delivered rapturous television performances on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
