Mumford & Sons – Sigh No More

Category : Blog

YouTube Preview Image

My latest addiction is a band out of London (yes, London) named Mumford & Sons. I stumbled across the band from a few recommendations off of twitter two weeks ago and ever since my ears have become dependent on this amazing album.  Their debut album (please tell me where to find any earlier works if you know of any) is entitled Sigh No More.  Their sound has a twinge of The Avett Brother’s feel but the lyrics and instrumentation is quite different once you really dive into it. The vocals from Marcus Mumford have a slight feel of Dave Matthews to boot.  The high energy vibe, crisp lyrics and kick ass harmonies make this an absolute must buy.  I’m looking forward to seeing these guys live here in the States soon.  Here’s  a link  from their recent appearance on David Letterman (February 17, 2010).   I’ve included the official video for Little Lion Man off the new album. In a side note, that electric banjo is tight.
