Mumford & Sons Newest Album, Babel, Now Available

Mumford & Sons newest export, Babel has been out since September 25. You can order the CD/Vinyl or download the album on iTunes from their website here.

Of the album Ben Lovett says: “We wanted to do something unashamed. We’re confident and happy to be where we are as a band – everything that’s happened with us has exceeded expectations, and it’s all been a surprise, it’s all much bigger than what we were prepared for. So when we came to recording this record we had a choice: to shy away from that, or to realise that people dig what we’re doing, and make something robust, with that energy.”

Babel follows a significant time period spent in Tennessee. The informality of the set-up there helped control any nerves the band might have had about following up their critically acclaimed Sigh No More from 2009–an album that went twice platinum in the US and four times platinum in the UK.

Babel’s identity Dwane describes as simply “Very us. When we made the first album it was to be a snapshot of Mumford & Sons in 2009. This is exactly the same – but it’s us now, and there’s a lot of the live energy in there – that was very much what we were trying to capture. Creating the album over the course of a year, going into the studio then back out touring, then back into the studio … it’s almost as if the road has rubbed off on the album.”

More than anything, there is a real a sense of completeness to Babel. So give it a listen and help Mumford & Sons make this album go platinum.
