"The folk revival that started in 2006 has now all but run out of venues big enough to confine it..." Mumford & Sons  |  The 02 Arena 18.12.12 There is a strange paradox in Mumford & Sons headlining the 02. A band so associated with – and vilified for – their connection with the antique, the historic and the backwards doesn’t naturally fit alongside the cavernous modern mecca of corporate entertainment sitting on the bank of the river Thames. As well as the main feature, with tonight’s support coming courtesy of the now-Americana-dust-inspired Mystery [...]

I would be a goddamned liar if I said Mumford and Sons are poor musicians. With their bolstering spirits, unbreakable sincerity, strong production values and dramatic showmanship, hand these guys a medal for being able to put on a killer show. On their sophomore LP, Babel , the London quartet pull the same tricks they deeply cherished on their 2009 debut album Sigh No More , but with new pungency and a reduced agenda. Marcus Mumford and his fellow brethren are out on the town [...]

Mumford and Sons - Sophomore album from the drummer-free multi-platinum-selling Brit folk/rockers is the most highly anticipated release of the fall, a self-described "evolution not a revolution"...the conundrum for a band whose whirlwind strumfests best suited for the corner of a noisy pub is translating their success to a larger, arena-sized stage -- a challenge met head on with a new album that's bigger, cleaner and perhaps even more euphoric in it's heart-on-sleeve passions -- a logical, predictable step that will inevitably garner criticism from those looking for the more ramshackle charms of their 2009 juggernaut [...]

"At times it reaches glorious peaks, but for too long feels like a poor rehash of what’s come before. The sound of a band penned in by their own sound..." Mumford & Sons  |  Babel It was 13 th February 2011 when Marcus Mumford and his band of merry men must have realised that their brand of banjo-toting folk-pop had got bigger than anyone ever could have expected. For this was the day that, with waistcoats on, neck ties tied and trucker cap firmly clamped on top of brow, Mumford & Sons performed [...]

Babel will see the light of day on September 25th, capping off a major month of new music releases. The video shows the band playing in front of a massive Red Rocks crowd in Colorado, and gives you a glimpse of what to expect if you ever have the chance to catch the guys live.

Mumford and Sons   have released the official video for their newest single off of their upcoming album  Babel , " I Will Wait ". The song is so majestic and epic and just makes you want to do exactly what the crowd does in this video: jump up and down so many times. This band deserves all the hype they are getting for  Babel  and I can't wait to see the next album blow up just the way  Sigh No More [...]

In the past three years, the members of English folk band Mumford & Sons have morphed from bluegrass strummers into stadium-filling superstars, all with only one full album under their belts. After a world tour, six Grammy nominations, and a performance alongside Bruce Springsteen, the group is ready for more. The band recently debuted “I Will Wait,” the first track from next month’s Babel. As the follow-up to 2009’s massive Sigh No More, Babel has a lot to live up to. Fans of the band’s jangling [...]

'Sigh No More' was a huge success for the English folk rockers and upcoming album 'Babel' (pictured - from which I Will Wait is taken) is sure to follow suit. Judging by this track, it seems the band have refrained from changing their sound at all. This is the same Mumford we all know and love - driving guitar rhythms speckled with banjo arpeggios, rich vocal harmonies and a rousing chorus. Urgent and impassioned, this is an exciting preview of what the album at large will bring. [...]

While first listening to today's release by  Mumford & Sons from their upcoming  September 24th release of  Babel , I had a flash of deja vu. I figured out it's because I had written about this song nearly two years ago. Under the name "Nothing Is Written," a live version of this song was leaked as it had been played during a number of performances while Mumford was touring for  Sigh No More . The song has undergone quite a makeover in the studio including the addition of lyrics from the version they were playing live. It explodes out of [...]

Mumford & Sons rose to fame at ungodly speeds with their debut album Sigh No More back in 2010. It's been two years since we've heard a brand new, official song from the band. Other than tour dates here and there, they've been beyond quiet - but all that changed today as they announced the first single off their upcoming album Babel, due out 9/24. "I Will Wait" certainly doesn't stray away from the sound that made them so popular in the first place. Tweet

What started as fairly positive reviews and an excellent live show has morphed into millions of albums sold, festival headlining slots, a film, a festival of their own and countless awards. Their second album, Babel , scheduled for release in September and people are getting excited. Very excited. Us included. While we highlighted a number of live cuts a few weeks ago and guessed at what we thought Babel would sound like, we now [...]

Much of the album was written while the band have been on the road the past 2 years.
