Move over Beatles
A few months ago I discovered a band so unique they simply blew me away. Mumford & Sons. I fell in love with their music the very first time I heard them. I adore their style, their energy, their Britishness (is that even a word) and their sound which is a new mix of folk, rock and a hint of bluegrass. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever heard before.
I love this band so much I could listen to them all day. And I usually do. I have all the songs from their debut album ”Sigh No More” on my iPod and my computer and in my car stereo. I don’t think I could pick a favorite as each song they do is wonderful in its own unique way. But to be honest I like watching their videos even more.
If I were nineteen again, I would so totally be their groupie. These are four of the sexiest guys I’ve ever seen in one place. (especially Marcus Mumford). I’d love to attend one of their concerts. For now, I suppose I’ll just have to make do with watching the video of their latest concert at Music-Hall-of-Williamsburg online here. Over and over and over…
AREN’T THEY THE MOST GORGEOUS GUYS YOU’VE EVER SEEN???
I’m really rooting for this band and I hope they become as well known as the Beatles. And I hope success doesn’t change them.

So you’re saying you really like them a lot then
Listened to both, and they do have a good sound. I’ve never heard of them before

Yes, I love, LOVE them. The band was formed in 2007 and they are all four from West London. Marcus Mumford, Country Winston, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane. From what I’ve read about them, their music just became available in the US the first of this year.
They’re good. But I’m surprised they’re English. To me they sound Celtic: Irish, or perhaps Scottish. Lovely sound, in any event.

Yes, they do sound Celtic. But they’re all from West London. I think their unique mix of sounds is why I like them so much. And their energy is incredible.
Oh, yes, to be nineteen again! Regardless of our ages, we can still enjoy the music, which is very different, and I especially liked the second video. Like Frank, they sounded a bit Irish (but then I am part Irish as well). No matter, they are new and nicely refreshing! Thanks for the intro!

I’m a whole lot Irish, and maybe that’s why I love the way they sound as well. That second video is my favorite of all their videos.
Very nice! I love that style of music.

It’s goes great with just about everything…working,driving,sitting,running,walking….
I love the first song. Never heard of ‘em before but definitely worth adding to the iPod.
Oh yes, definitely worth adding.
Good choice. They’re great. Keep playing their CD. They’re a finalist for Britain’s Mercury prize. Hope they win.

Ha! You turned my question into a post.
I like this band, too, Leeuna. I’m going to get your favorite album on iTunes for myself.
Did I tell you that I love music?

Yeah, I figured that if you — of all people — hadn’t heard of them, a lot of other people hadn’t either. So the idea for a post came to mind. Thanks for that, by the way. I’m glad I turned you on to them.
