Mumford & Sons say upcoming LP has ‘completely exceeded our expectations’

Mixing alternative, folk, country and bluegrass, Mumford & Sons won the hearts of Americans with the rootsy music off their 2009 debut, “Sigh No More,” which spawned an alternative rock hit that wouldn’t go away in “Little Lion Man.”

So, it should come as no surprise that the guys are taking their follow-up to “Sign No More” seriously. They’re finishing up the album right now, and some of the tracks as even a tad road-tested for good measure.

“We are in the final stages. We’re not finished, [and] we don’t quite know the exact track listing,” Mumford’s Ben Lovett told MTV News of the album. “But we have kind of road-tested some songs, and we have picked up some new songs and dropped some ones that people might have thought we were going to be putting on the record. We just want to make a record that’s cohesive and one that we feel represents us best right now.”

Lovett added that the new tracks are surprising even Mumford & Sons, since the songs are showing a major evolution from when the band dropped “Sigh No More” three years ago. “It’s pretty strange. [it's] completely exceeded our expectations,” Lovett said. “ …we had a dream to do a couple of tours off the back of [‘Sigh No More’] in the U.K., then get back in and do a second record, and that was it. It’s been crazy. [some of the songs on the album are] four, five years old? We recorded it almost three years ago. And what’s exciting is that we’re right in the midst of recording the new album, so we feel very keen to plow on.” Are you on the edge of your ears to hear new Mumford & Sons?

got 2 tickets for the Columbus show August 14th

apparently, this is as close as they will come to Detroit. the wife is excited as hell for the show, can't wait :thumbup:

 
Show at Red Rocks tonight. Got 3rd row Tix for it. They're filming the video for "I will wait" tonight to. Can't wait!

 
Not that I forgot, but man this venue just can't be beat. Red Rocks should be on everyone's bucket list of you care at all about.live music.

 
Love this band.

Funny thing is, my two other best friends are metalheads like me - and we all dig Mumford and Sons.

 
Wow. Just wow. Epic, epic show. The emotion and energy was unbelievable and was definitely one of the best concerts of my life. Oh and getting home within 45 minutes of a concert @ Red Rocks is a minor miracle to boot. Just a fantastic night!

I agree. Top 5 shows of all time for me. I really liked the second band that played as well. Dude on the drums was getting it. We also made it home in 45 minutes and that was to Northglenn. Such a great night.

It was a whole lotta fun.Slow Club opened. Kind of similar to Florence & the Machine, if I had to guess as an influence. They're a band that the guys from M&S's said have been friends with since before M&S's existed...and that the folks from Slow Club gave all the guys from M&S's jobs before they were a band, too. Here are a couple of tracks of theirs:

Mumford and Sons opened with a new track from Babel and rocked the house. Looking out over the crowd, I didn't see anyone sitting at any point in the show once they took the stage. The energy in the show was just fantastic and it showed in how the guys were feeling the songs. During "Dust Bowl Dance", I thought they were going to destroy the stage, they were rocking out so hard and violently. It was pretty awesome to see that. For the encore, they came out for a few songs, then finished with "The Cave"...or so we thought. Then they brought out Dawes and Slow Club and all 3 bands played/jammed to Joe Cocker's "A little help from my friends".

This is a show that we will not forget. Between the music itself, the venue, obviously, and the energy, it was memorable. Oh and it was pretty cool to hear/see how in awe the guys were when they were talking about how Red Rocks is "not the most un-intimidating place they've played...with pictures backstage of EmmyLou Harris and the ####### Beatles". LOL. :thumbup:

 
the show I saw a couple weeks ago was incredible and it was in a parking lot

you can find almost all of their new stuff on youtube. I think they opened with Lovers Eyes, IIRC.

a lot of great stuff on the new album but I was disappointed Hold On To What You Believe and/or Feel The Tide Turning didn't make it on there.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Beautiful-Music-All-Around/dp/0252036883/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345322365&sr=8-1&keywords=stephen+wadeThe Beautiful Music All Around Us presents the extraordinarily rich backstories of thirteen performances captured on Library of Congress field recordings between 1934 and 1942 in locations reaching from Southern Appalachia to the Mississippi Delta and the Great Plains. Including the children's play song "Shortenin' Bread," the fiddle tune "Bonaparte's Retreat," the blues "Another Man Done Gone," and the spiritual "Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down," these performances were recorded in kitchens and churches, on porches and in prisons, in hotel rooms and school auditoriums. Documented during the golden age of the Library of Congress recordings, they capture not only the words and tunes of traditional songs but also the sounds of life in which the performances were embedded: children laugh, neighbors comment, trucks pass by.Musician and researcher Stephen Wade sought out the performers on these recordings, their families, fellow musicians, and others who remembered them. He reconstructs the sights and sounds of the recording sessions themselves and how the music worked in all their lives. Some of these performers developed musical reputations beyond these field recordings, but for many, these tracks represent their only appearances on record: prisoners at the Arkansas State Penitentiary jumping on "the Library's recording machine" in a rendering of "Rock Island Line"; Ora Dell Graham being called away from the schoolyard to sing the jump-rope rhyme "Pullin' the Skiff"; Luther Strong shaking off a hungover night in jail and borrowing a fiddle to rip into "Glory in the Meetinghouse."Alongside loving and expert profiles of these performers and their locales and communities, Wade also untangles the histories of these iconic songs and tunes, tracing them through slave songs and spirituals, British and homegrown ballads, fiddle contests, gospel quartets, and labor laments. By exploring how these singers and instrumentalists exerted their own creativity on inherited forms, "amplifying tradition's gifts," Wade shows how a single artist can make a difference within a democracy.Reflecting decades of research and detective work, the profiles and abundant photos in The Beautiful Music All Around Us bring to life largely unheralded individuals--domestics, farm laborers, state prisoners, schoolchildren, cowboys, housewives and mothers, loggers and miners--whose music has become part of the wider American musical soundscape. The book also includes an accompanying CD that presents these thirteen performances, songs and sounds of America in the 1930s and '40s.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AYz62UxLPg
