Mumford & Sons [Folk/Rock]
« on: December 19, 2010, 12:14:23 PM »
Now that I've sent my song to Rich I can stop staying quiet about this band :lol

 Anyone who likes great vocal harmonies and folk-rock should check out their debut, Sigh no More. I can't say enough good things about it. Hell, even if you don't like those things you should check it out.

Here's a few songs from the record. I know there are some other fans of the band - make yourselves known!

"Winter Winds," maybe my favorite one.

"Little Lion Man," the lead single.

They're pretty cool. I haven't listened to them since several months ago, but I remember liking it.

Yeah, I mean every song is great. White Blank Page is also another favorite of mine.

They're so so good, The Cave is probably my favourite track. It's one of my favourite debut albums in a while.

About ten people have recommended me this band by now.

What's the likelihood I'd like this if I worship the Fleet Foxes?

Very, very high, I'd say. I love both, and for similar reasons.

That was my favourite, with Thistle & Weeds a very close second. The latter has a real Radiohead feel to it!

Anyway yeah, really great album, I'm so glad you recommended them to me. :D

Yea, I've listened to it twice through already. One of the greatest things I've heard this year.

EDIT: This may be the album of 2010 for me. 5 full listens in under 24 hours. This record is beautiful.

They're getting huge airplay here in Holland, and were one of the most hyped acts of the yearly Lowlands festival. If I recall correctly I was at some awesome Postrock band during their gig.
Not 'Down To F***', but 'Dream Theater Forums' .

I was at a work Christmas lunch today and in the restaurant they played Winter Winds. It made me happy! :D

Finally checking this band out, per a few songs my brother sent me.  Sounds pretty sweet thus far.  "Roll Away Your Stone" is all kinds of fun. :tup :tup

I've been enjoying them a lot lately. I actually got into this style of music with The Avett Brothers (who you should all check out as well), and I found that I liked Mumford & Sons a lot as well.

What a great band. I've been checking them this past six months.

Here's a great cover of "Awake my Soul" by a local (Colombian) band called Soundacity, great quality video and performance:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoTY3_5eXWc

And here's "The Cave" live, a version that my girlfriend also showed me and made me cry; you can feel their emotion and their happiness. It's amazing:

WELP. That couldn't be more untrue.

Mumford & Sons own. Timshel is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
