It has been about three years since folk-pop band Of Monsters & Men released their last record, My Head Is An Animal. The Icelandic outfit’s debut effort peaked at #6 in the US and #3 in the UK and was nominated for Top Rock Album during the Billboard Music Awards.

The multi-platinum five-piece are back at it again with a brand new album due out on June 9, entitled Beneath The Skin, via Republic. Below you can find the enchanting new music video for its equally-enchanting first single, “Crystals,” which features a dolled-up Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir in the middle of a crystal mime.

The band shares, “Working with Icelandic directors and an Icelandic crew was a new and enjoyable thing for us. Being able to communicate in Icelandic made this a relaxed experience. Now it’s time to share the video with the world and we hope people like it!”

Additionally, the band just kicked off their world tour a few days ago in Toronto. You can check out the remaining dates below, along with the new music video for “Crystals” (via EW) and the track listing for Beneath The Skin.
