Songfacts®:

• "Television Love" is a single from Of Monsters and Men, released on July 1, 2025. It signaled the band's return after a period of relative quiet and creative evolution following their 2019 album Fever Dream.
• The song was written by the band and recorded in their Iceland studio with production by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National) and Bjarni Por Jensson. It evolved over several years, with Of Monsters and Men revisiting and adding to it at different points in their lives, reflecting changes in perspective and emotion.
• According to the band, "Television Love" is a textured, nuanced step forward in Of Monsters and Men's sound. It still carries their signature indie-folk DNA: haunting vocals and emotional openness, but with a more patient, layered build. Unlike the immediate hooks of "Little Talks" or "Crystals," this one takes its time, but when it lands, it swells into the kind of sweeping, sky-opening anthem built for festival stages.
• "Television Love" explores the shifts in a relationship between two people, described by the band as "a conversation between two people stretched across time."
  
  The title nods to that idea. It mirrors the way television can replay moments, pause, or revisit stories - suggesting a relationship that is experienced in fragments, sometimes distant, sometimes close, and always subject to change and reinterpretation.
• The video was directed by Erlendur Sveinsson and filmed during an Icelandic summer night. It features a dinner table scene where the band and the table move through time and space, through chaos and calm, all while being both connected and disconnected from the surroundings. Think Last Supper meets Doctor Who, but with better lighting and fewer CGI aliens.
  
  The band explained: "The video was shot entirely on 35mm film during a summer night in Iceland. Because it was filmed around the solstice, we were able to stay up until the early morning without the sun ever going down. It was a strange, kind of timelessness that felt just right for 'Television Love.'"
