She liked how her vocals commingled with guitarist/vocalist Ragnar InchRaggiInch Þórhallsson's, so they started writing songs together and in 2010 morphed into Of Monsters and Men. As victors of 2010's Músiktilraunir, the new group earned a slot on the influential Iceland Airwaves festival later that year, followed by Seattle's radio station KEXP posting InchLittle TalksInch from a Living Room Session filmed there, setting the telltale ripple effect in motion.
