Description
Marcus Mumford's voice dominates the new album with its gravelly nature and soulful depth. The lyrical themes resonate with those who approach love with an almost spiritual zeal. Mumford describes "a love that will no longer betray or dismay you, it will set you free/make you more like the man you were meant to be." Mumford delivers their message with such sincerity and conviction that they will undoubtedly draw the listener in and present him or her with a powerful musical experience.
"A White Blank Page" is one of Sigh No More's weightiest pieces. Mumford & Sons conjure up the image of a man imagining writing a letter to someone now beyond his reach. The vocals are filled with a tense blend of anger and sorrow, underscored by instrumentals led by dramatic violins and quick bursts of piano. The trumpet playing in "Winter Winds" is hauntingly melodious and deserves particular attention and accolade.

Comments about V2 Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More:
A beautiful collection of songs with a folksy, Bright Eyes meets Fleet Foxes feel fashioned from a fine variety of instruments played with gusto and insightful, psychologically-reflective and pertinent lyrics. Refreshing and encouraging in the face of soul-less, manufactured non-songs in the era of the TV talent show chart-topper. After the Storm resonantes deeply with compassion for human beings, each of us on our own journey, ending the album in a melodic and moving way with the album's stand-out track.

Comments about V2 Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More:
British music has always been in the forefront in terms of originality and innovation; however, they also have a way with simple laid back classic roots. Mumford and sons brings to the forefront the sensation that English folk music can and should be. This music will resonate with you for a long time. Lyrically, it's a masterpiece which engages your mind while filling your soul with meaning. Sit back grab a spot of tea and close your eyes and simply enjoy the moment!!

As a fan of all musical genres, this album is a breath of fresh air. The lyrics compliment the music perfectly and it's an album that gets better everytime you have a listen. Stand out songs include 'little lion man' and 'the cave'.

Fantastic debut album of folk/pop - I gave this a listen purely from other reviews, and have played it loads since. Equally tender and raucous. Would ove to see them live.
