Album of the Week: Mumford and Sons – RUSHMERE

We could have predicted The Guardian‘s reaction – “back to dreary basics”. After the departure of Winston Marshall a few years ago their first album in seven years brings them back with a familiar mix of electronic folk, sometimes stomping, always melodic. The now trio still have it on this album named after the pub in South London where they first met (we thought it must have been a US allusion somehow). A delightful album – its delightful to see this unfashionable effort sitting in the NZ top five as we write!

Mumford and Sons surprisingly achieved huge success in the 2000s with banjo strumming folk, against all the odds. Their 2015 album Wilder Mind ‘electrified’ them to mixed responses. This album continues their evolution with new sounds, although lead single “Guiding Light” still has the banjo-esque sound. This album has received some mixed reviews, however trust us – there are some great and varied tunes here.
