First off, allow me to get this off my chest:
I LOVE Mumford & Sons
There's no other way to say it. Their most recent CD, "Sigh No More" is beyond gorgeous. Since they formed in December 2007, the members of Mumford & Sons have shared a common purpose: to make music that matters, without taking themselves too seriously. The members - Marcus Mumford, Country Winston, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane - bring their music to us with the passion and pride of an old-fashioned, much-cherished, family business. Their sound is a wonderful mixture of folk and rock, as powerful as Kings of Leon, but as folk-y as Jesca Hoop, and the combination is pure magic.
The album has so much depth to it, ranging from dark, reflective songs like "Thistles and Weeds" and "Little Lion Man," to songs like "Sigh No More" whose lyrics have an almost Shakespeare ring to them, to "Roll Away Your Stone," which nearly sounds like a hoedown about filling one's soul.
But here is the video for one of their most popular songs, "The Cave." In short, I can't recommend these guys enough. Give them a listen!
