It's not every day that my interest is peaked by the phrase "English folk rock." For Mymford and Sons, however, I can work up some excitement.
This band came around in 2007, rising out of London's folk scene with other artists like Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn, Jay Jay Pistolet and Noah and the Whale.
Mumford and Sons' newest single, "The Cave" is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs that I've ever heard. It's the kind of song that fills your heart with angst and banjos and fiddles and happiness. And now I sound like a fan boy. But there you go.
Take a listen, you'll see what I mean.
