19. Mumford & Sons

19. Mumford & Sons-
Sigh No More

A new entry into London's burgeoning folk scene, these guys gained notoriety by touring with Laura Marling. They are friends with Noah and the Whale, Laura, Johnny Flynn and Jay Jay Pistolet, all incredible artists I have been listening to over the last couple years. So, I was so happy when a friend of mine turned me onto Mumford & Sons. Banjo's, String Bass, Horns, all coming together in beautiful harmonies and soulful lyrics. Mumford's voice comes across as raw and passion-filled. Sad to say, it kind of sounds like Dave Mattew's voice, but much more soul. This is their debut and hasn't been released in the US yet. Every song on it is solid folk-rock at its best. I can't wait to see these guys live.
