Gloriously
British four-piece, Mumford and Sons, revived the plateauing folk
renaissance three years ago with their Billboard, BRIT and Grammy
award winning debut, Sigh No More, and now they've returned with
their follow-up album, Babel, which is, happily, more of the same.
The only change, and there was no need
to change at all, is the inclusion of a few more ballads to mitigate
the dizzying crescendos that dominate the rest of their tracks.
Still sounding like the best Irish
wedding band ever, with their cacophonous arrangement of crashing
drums, urgent vocals and layer upon layer of guitars, ukuleles,
banjos or whatever set up it is they've got going on, Mumford and
Sons have proven their first release was no fluke and have cemented
themselves as one of our greatest contemporary musical exports.
