Live from Vatnagarðar is the first live album by the Icelandic alternative folk band Of Monsters and Men, released digitally through Republic Records worldwide on 20 September 2013. The album consists of six tracks from their previous album re-recorded live in studio,[1] plus a cover of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Skeletons". Four of the re-recorded tracks are performed as they are at the group's current concerts, with the exception of "King and Lionheart" and "Little Talks", which are entirely new renditions. One of the new renditions, "Little Talks", was played on the band's May/June North American Tour (12 May 2013). "Skeletons" is a song frequently played at their concerts, making it relevant to this "live" album.
