Mumford and Sons

[dshizzle]

Really gotten into Mumford & Sons lately, any other fans out there? Only other band I know of that sounds comparable to them are the Avett brothers.

A better question is who DOESN'T like mumford and sons (especially since that's what this thread will probably devolve into anyways), and the answer to that is "not I!" New album out soon, yeah? Very exciting.

However, Avett Brothers kind of annoys me. Their songwriting just seems less mature than M&S. Though yes, the instrumentation is very similar, and I can't really think of a better comparison. Decemberists, maybe?

Probably hitler.

New album out soon, yeah?

I cant wait to pay for all the music I've ripped from Youtube. Home/Holland Road is my jam right now. I find their music very interesting, there's a ton of biblical allusion in it but not only does it not set of my WTF RELIGION IS THE WORST alarm, it actually kind of makes me miss childhood church services with my family.

I'll have to check out the Decemberists.

To answer my own question Jerry Douglas has some similarities to Mumford and Sons, The Boxer is worth checking out.

Though excited about their new album, I refuse to listen to any songs from it until it is released, or until they start airing on radio. Not sure why.

I like a bit of Mumford and Sons

Laura Marling toured with them, and especially when she breaks out the banjo, she takes on M&S overtones. Devil's Spoke is a particularly fine example of her work and the occasional similarity with M&S, but don't be fooled---I Speak Because I Can is something very different, and very beautiful.

I just realized that The Boxer sounds like Mumford and Sons because it is.

New single. Yes, I couldn't wait.
