Details: Monsters of Folk - the acclaimed band comprised of Jim James (My Morning Jacket), M. Ward, Conor Oberst, and Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes) - are celebrating the 15th anniversary of their self-titled, one and only album with an expanded new edition. First released in 2009, Monsters of Folk now sees the original 15-song album joined by five additional studio tracks from a previously unreleased 2012 session featuring "Fifth Monster" Will Johnson (Centro-matic), including the high-energy heartland rock anthem, "Disappeared," premiering today alongside an official visualizer streaming now at YouTube. "That session was very much kept in the moment," says Will Johnson. "I remember looking over at Jim playing drums on 'Disappeared,' joyfully bashing away, and it harbored that same exuberance of starting your first band: that moment in the garage where things take flight, and the energy and happiness just lead you onward."
