Mumford and sons

Ermmm... I don't think so. I'm not into folk music and like them too. Very Happy

If it's great music style doesn't matter.

Well, I meant that more in terms of me, rather than anyone else. Sorry, I should've clarified. Razz

Beware! They in fact did! At "Everthere" but Guy played it not they way it is usually played... Wink

To be honest, folk music has the power to bore me utterly to tears, but I think Mumford and Sons are a little more than just folk. They don't have quite the musical flexibility - or haven't demonstrated it - as Elbow (very few bands do, tbh) but they write songs from the heart, I love the vocals, and I love the lyrics.... decent lyrics are not that easy to come by these days. I sound like an old git and at 27 that's slightly worrying....but it's true.

They're a bit safe and inoffensive musically; I can see why some might find them a bit boring but I think they get more interesting the more you listen.

I would file them in the Bluegrass section, rather than folk!

They're not hardcore bluegrass, though. If they were, I'd get highly annoyed, as I dislike it.

When my friend sent me The Cave I didn't expect the band would be THIS cool. But M&S turned out to be very talented gentlemen Smile

Sigh No More is a very intimate and sincere record - I like every single track on it.

"The Cave" is an excellent track, no doubt.

I actually really love their first album! =) Just my own opinion but it's now a favorite of mine. I actually really love some of the lyrics. Although I would not compare it to Guy's lyrics. I hope to see them live some day. I actually really like their take on the folk area of music etc but I'm certainly no expert.

Whilst it's a good first album I think I will wait and see what future releases are like before calling them "an amazing band" or whatever. A truly great band is consistently good (such as elbow) so I'm waiting eagerly for their next album. =) x

Has anyone heard the new EP from The Wedding Band? (The Wedding Band is Mumford and Sons with some other musicians, basically.)

M&S debuted a new song the other day. You can read about it and listen here. Smile
