Of Monsters and Men release double singles ‘Dream Team’ and ‘The Towering Skyscraper at the End of the Road’
Of Monsters and Men have returned with two powerful new singles, ‘Dream Team’ and ‘The Towering Skyscraper at the End of the Road,’ both lifted from their forthcoming album All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade, set for release on October 17, 2025.
‘Dream Team’ extends the narrative from the band’s recent single ‘Television Love,’ combining raw lyricism with carefree energy while exploring the balance between vulnerability and self-preservation. The track’s resonance reaches even further as it is set to appear in the upcoming Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, in theaters September 19. In contrast, ‘The Towering Skyscraper at the End of the Road’ reflects on memory, examining moments, people, and places that quietly shape identity like a distant landmark. Together, the dual release highlights the album’s central theme: the duality of love and pain, where exhilaration and ache coexist.
Speaking on the release, the band shared:
“‘Dream Team’ is built on a piano part that our drummer, Arnar, played for us. It instantly gave us this carefree, nostalgic feeling. It feels like bouncing through town without a care in the world. The lyrics paint a different picture: It’s an inner dialog of someone going through ranges of emotions. Bouncing from one feeling to another. Feeling extremely happy and confident while also feeling this immense sadness and dread. ‘The Towering Skyscraper at the End of the Road’ is about growing up and growing apart, it’s a song that looks at the past with kind eyes.”
With All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade marking their first full-length release in six years, Of Monsters and Men are poised to reintroduce their cinematic, emotionally charged sound to a global audience. ‘Dream Team’ and ‘The Towering Skyscraper at the End of the Road’ set the stage for what promises to be one of the band’s most ambitious and heartfelt eras yet.
