Of Monsters and Men have shared their first single since their second album Beneath The Skin, released back in 2015.
"Alligator" is considerably rocker than previous offerings; it’s undeniably catchy, with a tinge of 80s power pop. The band write that this is "The first of many songs to come"; having spent much of this Spring mixing their third album in LA.
Of Monsters and Men will play Life is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas this September, their first major performance since 2016.
"Alligator" is out now.
