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.

This album is absolutely fantastic. Topped Triple J's Hottest 100 in Australia with Little Lion Man. Ripping banjo and thumping guitars. Great heart.

First heard them live on the TV and was mesmerised by their playing. Their songs and lyrics bring you into their performance and hold you till the end cannot wait for their next, but until then will keep playing this one.

Overall not a bad album. I have only listened to it twice so hopefully it will grow on me in time. Superior to a lot of other pop-folk around in that the vocals add a raspy edge.

this album is addictive, anyone could fall inlove with it!

Comments about GLASS NOTE Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More:
Mumford & Sons gives an English twist to the folksy american banjo and harmonica sounds of country music. Every track on this album sounds like a tale being told amongst the banjos, trombones and bass. If not convinced banjos were your thing, you will be now with this beautifully crafted album of songs packed full of remorse and love.
