Mumford & Sons

About Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons rose to prominence in 2009, releasing debut album Sigh No More. With folk music at its nucleus, the band took a propulsive, heart-on-sleeve approach to playing their acoustic instruments, spawning the likes of Little Lion Man and The Cave. Whatever Mumford & Sons were doing, it connected emphatically, garnering a first BRIT Award for British Album and 6 Grammy nominations. In 2012, the band followed up with Babel, debuting at #1 on both sides of the Atlantic. It took Sigh No More’s storytelling blueprint but made everything bigger, bolder, and more euphoric. Grabbing their first Grammy Award for Album of the Year, they added the likes of I Will Wait and Lover of The Light to their live set and become synonymous with a sound and aesthetic that many new and established artists still liberally borrow from. 2015’s Wilder Mind followed Babel in debuting at #1 in both the UK and US. A more electric and epic affair, it propelled Mumford & Sons into arenas. Then in 2018 came Delta, a portrayal of the band at their most experimental to date. Leaving the studio open to friends, it welcomed a more expansive tone to the band’s oeuvre. In January 2024, a Pharrell Williams collaboration called Good People dropped. A stomping, propulsive call-to-arms, it acts as a weighty statement of future intent. As serial collaborators, Pharrell joins the hallowed likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Ray Davies, Baaba Maal, Maggie Rogers and HAIM to work with the band
