I feel it is appropriate, being inundated with snow and not wanting to step out in the Connecticut cold, to share with you guys a band that I have been listening to non-stop whilst lying in bed and drinking tea. I am, without a doubt, becoming absolutely obsessed with Mumford and Sons, a relative new band made up of that has swept London’s indie folk scene off its feet within the last year. This band is absolutely incredible, there's something about a great drum beat and the sound of a mandolin that I find irresistible. The simplicity of their soothing melodies and the universally lovable sound they have created makes me fully confident that Marcus Mumford and the rest of these talented musicians will have no problem making themselves a huge international success. If you are a Noah and the Whale, Johnny Flynn, or Laura Marling fan this band is definitely for you. Their EP, Sigh No More, is available on iTunes, and I believe the full record will be released in the US soon. My recommendations: “The Cave” and “Little Lion Man”. Watch the video for “The Cave” at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KkUeRPjc-Y, it is suitably as fantastic as the song itself.
