mumford


i just found this band a few weeks ago: mumford and sons. as soon as i heard one song i was hooked! luckily they have an album... which i bought on itunes immediately. it's their debut and it is stellar. i only hope that they come out with more like it.

i feel like a lot of people will just say, "they're one of those indie bands". like they are a fad or something. but they are actually really talented!

what makes them so great?
  • 4 guys that hail from west london= accents
  • they have performed on balconytv in dublin
  • they constantly sell out their concerts all over england
  • they don't just play guitar! they also play banjo and other instruments: like... accordion. and they make it sound cool!
  • they have sick harmonies and great voices
  • the blend of country and bluegrass with folk to make something truly sublime, especially for anyone with interests or training in music
  • their songs range from upbeat and happy to slow and somber, but no matter what there is always that sense of raw emotion
  • they have the voices that you want to sing you to sleep every night but still have the edge and power that is found in many rock groups today

yeah the toy piano is in there but really only at the beginning


this is their debut album ^^. so good. if you want to listen to more of their stuff, i suggest the songs "white blank page" and "roll away your stone". and "little lion man". well there isn't really a song on the album again that i don't like, or don't love for that matter.
