MUMFORD & SONS – BABEL

Off the phenomenal success of Sigh No More, Mumford and Sons’ second album delivers the same rollicking-style folk anthems – and works almost better. Laced with the happy twang of a tow-tapping banjo, a never-tiring acoustic and sawing strings, Babel sports fantastic huge choruses and a raw energy that will translate to an incredible experience live.
