Description

Ever since Mumford & Sons entered onto the British folk stage in 2007, they have been garnering positive acclaim on the albums they have released. Their latest compilation of songs, entitled Sigh No More, represents yet another step in Mumford & Sons' artistic evolution. People have described the Mumford & Sons sound as a folksy blend of rustic pop that has been influenced by Wild Beasts, Noah & The Whale, Bat for Lashes, and The Twilight Sad.

Marcus Mumford's voice dominates the new album with its gravelly nature and soulful depth. The lyrical themes resonate with those who approach love with an almost spiritual zeal. Mumford describes "a love that will no longer betray or dismay you, it will set you free/make you more like the man you were meant to be." Mumford delivers their message with such sincerity and conviction that they will undoubtedly draw the listener in and present him or her with a powerful musical experience.

"A White Blank Page" is one of Sigh No More's weightiest pieces. Mumford & Sons conjure up the image of a man imagining writing a letter to someone now beyond his reach. The vocals are filled with a tense blend of anger and sorrow, underscored by instrumentals led by dramatic violins and quick bursts of piano. The trumpet playing in "Winter Winds" is hauntingly melodious and deserves particular attention and accolade.
