Some fans worried the new CD would be dark. And so we feel that this record is a natural progression that weРІР‚в„ўre proud of, and we cannot wait to take it out on the road.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљAs a band, weРІР‚в„ўve never been closer or more collaborative, all working to our strengths. The album started to come together, and with the help of Markus Dravs once more (and engineer Robin Baynton), we started to relish the challenge of making this album.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљBut then we fell in love with recording again. We love playing live, obviously, but it had also become an important part of our creative process, we had been writing and rehearsing in soundchecks, and sort of РІР‚Вroad-testingРІР‚в„ў new songs on our very gracious audiences.РІР‚Сњ At first, we peeled ourselves off the road quite reluctantly. РІР‚СљWe had started writing new songs well before we got into the studio to record. The new album was started 18 months ago working with producer Markus Dravs who was responsible for producing their 2 x Platinum album РІР‚СљSigh No More.РІР‚Сњ

Tour listings are at the end of the story. Mumford and Sons is now on tour in the United States. So he went back into hiding for a while until he thought of something worth fucking saying.The long-awaited Mumford and Sons new CD called РІР‚СљBabelРІР‚Сњ will arrive Sand is available for pre-order July 23rd. And lo, Jesus - disguised as Mumford & Sons - did release that collection of songs, and he realised that creating a piece of art based on hollow attempts to reconstruct the shallowest tenets of something which is in fact quite elegant, is really not the way to communicate with people at all. And on the third day, he made an album in those songs' image. On the second day, he used that song's rib to create the foundations for the song with the epic climax. On the first day, he created the quiet song. As he sped up his banjo strumming - and Jesus is a pretty mean banjo player, you guys - he played so fast it just became one long note. As he induced the group vocal, it was so loud that it could not be heard.

As he begun to preach his messages of love and loyalty and torment, he found them to be full of the most basic platitudes. In his now-famous Sermon In The Pub, he declared that the new language would be the Folk of old, the simple, traditional language of pre-Babel civilisation.

Seeing that the people of the world were confused with all manner of interesting song structures and instrumental complexity and emotional realism, he sought to bring peace to all mankind by fixing the damage done those thousands of years ago. He hoped that his use of the outdated banjo would hint at his true identity.

Choosing to shirk his old stomping ground of the Middle East for reasons of impartiality, he began to spread his gospel. For he did return, in the guise of a four-piece folk band from West London. In the two-thousand-and-ninth year after Christ, though, all of this did change. But it was presumed an elite language because of its lack of mono-syllabic words and apparently random interjections, and so it became uncool. The original tongue persisted, but also became more elegant and more elaborate Folk's dictionaries now contained new structures, ideas and sounds as a result of simultaneous refinement and expansion. There developed more sophisticated versions of the once-primitive language the borrowing of words from Punk made the hybrid language Folk-Punk, and the discovery of new ores brought about Folk-Metal. They fucked it up by trying to reach heaven with a huge tower, and lo, did the language of Folk diversify as punishment for their foolishness. It was a good world in which to live, a simple society for undeveloped minds that had not known the wrath of the lord. Many a time, they would join together in chorus to evoke feelings of awe and inspiration from their unity, or express themselves more frantically in order to reveal passion and excitement. And the people did find ways to convey their emotions. With this language, the people were able to communicate base emotions such as joy and pain, and lo, it was good. Their shared tongue had a name, and that name was Folk. Some 130 terrestrial years following the scientifically-dated Great Flood of Noah, all of the world did speak exactly the same language. Review Summary: I'd like to tell you a story.
