Nanna, from Of Monsters and Men, is currently on tour in support of her debut solo album How to Start a Garden (Republic Records).

Talking about the album, Nanna said, “A lot of things had to end for this album to become what it is. A long term relationship, my prior sense of home and belonging and security. But it’s also an ode to the joy of new beginnings: new relationships, a new home, new friendships, a new sense of self. The album takes place in this in-between state. I wrote it in Iceland and recorded it between Iceland and upstate New York. It captures a very specific time in my life of curiosity and reflection, when I felt very much in the middle of a surreal new reality and didn’t have a clear path in my direction—like how a snowstorm is somehow chaotic but calm at the same time.”

Of Monsters and Men (29 Mar 2012)

We last saw Of Monsters and Men in Mar 2012 and wrote, “Of Monsters and Men sounded so happy to be here in America. They mentioned how they did the tourist-thing, seeing the Mall of America. There are also a lot of them on stage; I think I counted seven of them. Many of their songs contain "hey! hey!" and yes, it's catchy.”
