Monsters of Folk

Monsters of Folk is a collaborative American indie folk-rock supergroup formed in 2004, featuring well-known artists like Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis. They bring together diverse musical influences—folk, rock, alternative—and create albums that blend intricate lyrics, rich melodies, and layered instrumentation. Rather than a traditional band with a single identity, they focus on artistic collaboration, often working on side projects or solo material outside the group. Their music appeals to fans of thoughtful, well-crafted songwriting and showcases the strength of collaborative creativity in the modern music landscape.
