Icelandic “hey!” folk balladeers Of Monsters And Men have released a music video for “Crystals,” the lead single from their forthcoming sophomore album, Beneath The Skin.

Visually, the psychedelic, dreamy video evokes both steampunk aesthetics and 1980s kiddie fantasy films like The Neverending Story, Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. Musically, “Crystals” is consistent with Of Monsters And Men’s usual, chart-topping, epic folk-pop: layered acoustic strumming, hard-charging percussion and lots of “Whoa-ohs!”

Beneath The Skin, the follow up to 2011’s quadruple-platinum My Head Is An Animal, will be released June 9. The band is also currently in the midst of a massive world tour. See below for tourdates, a track list for Beneath The Skin and the video for “Crystals”:
