Of Monsters and Men are an Icelandic folk/indie band. Though there are many who enjoy their music, as far as transformative works go, it would likely be seen as a microfandom. Fanworks related to the band are often influenced by a specific song or music video.
Fandom
Reception
Their first album is generally considered to be their best. To some, this first album in particular seems to occupy a similiar place in the fandom sphere as Hozier and Florence + The Machine in terms of a nature-based, or even fae-based, aesthetic.
Fandom Connections
The band appeared in two episodes of Game of Thrones as musicians.[1]
Fanworks
Fanworks are relatively sparse, though fanvids, fanart, aesthetic moodboards and the occasional fanfic have arisen. Most fanworks involving OMAM in some way seem to focus on either:
- The narratives, themes or aesthetics within the songs themselves
- The narratives, themes or aesthetics within the music videos
- A source of inspiration for fanworks of other fandoms.[2]
...rather than RPF of the band members.
