Fever Dream (stylized in all caps) is the third studio album by Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men, released on 26 July 2019 through Republic Records.
[2] The album was co-produced by the band with Rich Costey, and was preceded by the lead single "Alligator".
[3] Lead singer Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir said that while writing the album she had grown "really tired" of writing songs on an acoustic guitar as it "brought out things in [me] that were predictable", so she began working on a laptop at home, "figuring out all these new sounds and being curious about them".
[4] Nanna said lead single "Alligator", called "driving and percussion-heavy" by Billboard,[5] began like a "dance song", but that it is not entirely representative of the album's sound.
[6] Fever Dream debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200 with 34,000 album-equivalent units, of which 30,000 were pure album sales.
