Mumford & Sons
Biography
Mumford & Sons are a British folk rock band. The band consists of Marcus Mumford (vocals, guitar, drums, mandolin), Ben Lovett (vocals, keyboards, accordion, drums), Country Winston Marshall, and Ted Dwane (vocals, string bass, drums, guitar). The band formed in December 2007, rising out of what some in the media labeled the "West London folk scene" with other artists such as Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn and Noah and the Whale. Mumford & Sons recorded an EP, Love Your Ground, and toured extensively in Ireland to expose audiences to their music and build support for an eventual album. Their debut album, Sigh No More, was released in Ireland in October 2009, and February 2010 in the United States. The album reached number one in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand and peaked at number two on the UK Album Chart and the Billboard 200 in the US. The band gained popularity throughout 2010, performing for larger audiences and making their first network television appearances in the U.S. On 1 December 2010, the band received two Grammy Award nominations, one for Best New Artist and the other for Best Rock Song. They won the ARIA Music Award for Most Popular International Artist in 2010, and the Brit Award in 2011 for Best British Album. As of the end of their North American Tour in the Summer of 2011 they reportedly went home to England and started recording a new album. Various songs from the album have been performed during live shows, and the tentatively-titled track "Ghosts That We Knew" was debuted in a live studio performance at the Philadelphia radio station WRFF. The official release date of the album has not been announced.

Comments
While walking past the box
my ear heard a sigh
a voice I did not regonise
a sound I had not heard
a rift that got my pulse burning
a little lion roaring
I went to the local
record store all to no avail
must put it on order
as I sighed I tried
by listening very intently
to hear that sound again
a mix of colonal
folk, and folly
OH Mumford and Sons you are so
JOLLY
Good I say
as you helped me delay
the sadness inside
of a loss I must hide
the album arrives
as I drive the antispition
is almost overwheling
to my little farm in the middle of nowhere
your voices rang out
through my valley of doubt
my heart it did stop
as you spoke of the Grace
made me think of the Cross
covering my pain
with your beautiful refrains
without hesitation
I tell you that that day
you saved my life
as I was at the lowest
your music lifted me
with its honesty
for several days I did the usual
to escape my drama
painted for myself
an image inspired by
SIGH NO MORE
twelve songs in total
played over and over
got me over the hill
where I see clearly
the Grace in my own heart
WHAT A FABULOUS START
your art makes the world
feel better
