Housed in Gatefold Sleeve with Signed Print. Limited to 100 copies. Signed. UPC: 0198704578618 All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade . It may sound a little strange, but the title and beating heart of Icelandic indie-folk collective Of Monsters and Men's fourth album hits a lot closer to home than you'd expect. A tapestry of stories, moments, and conversations, the album explores how love and pain intertwine. Feelings that might seem at odds with each other, but co-exist simultaneously and need one another. Tales both big and small -- from the loneliness and longing of living in a block surrounded by strangers, to missed connections in a grocery store, to the lives and losses of a community of mice in a vacant house during winter. Of Monsters and Men went from Reykjavik to the global stage with their breakout 2011 debut My Head Is An Animal , which propelled them from Icelandic indie darlings to international chart-toppers. The album's breakout single "Little Talks," a defining song for a generation, now boasts over 1 billion Spotify streams.
