A postcard from the world of the famous Icelandic folk-pop band Of Monsters and Men, who are getting ready to celebrate the decade of their sensational debut album My Head Is an Animal. Since the anniversary tour was canceled due to the pandemic, the musicians decided to travel the country, sing just for themselves, and record the new EP Tíu ("Ten"). The 48-minute tape, directed by Dean DeBlois, who made the 2007 concert movie of another iconic Icelandic band, Sigur Rós, shows OMAM playing acoustic versions of new and unreleased songs in picturesque and memorable locations: a lighthouse, a boat, the lead singer's Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir great-grandmother's house. During breaks, the band members cook together, laugh, feel nostalgic, and have tender lyrical conversations about music, nature, polar bears, and home.
