"Circles" by Of Monsters and Men

 





A cover that I consider far superior to the original.

Of Monsters and Men are one of Iceland's best exports, next to frozen fish fillets and metric tons of volcanic ash.
Their version of Post Malone's "Circles" starts as a quiet piano driven whisper, adding instruments and tempo as they go along, building to a rollicking (you know, as much as Of Monsters and Men can rollick) crescendo.
Sort of like a pot of macaroni that's slowly simmering on the stove, and within minutes boils over onto the range top that's impossible to clean, no matter what combination of slightly abrasive cleaners you toss on there.
