People. I have a new music obsession. Fear not! My love for Breaking Benjamin is eternal and undiminished. But I have just discovered Mumford & Sons and let me tell you: I. Am. In. Love.
Where do I start? Okay, the basics. They're a folk band. They actually sound like an Irish folk band but they're British. And oh yes, my friends, there is a banjo and it is played a lot. DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU. The music is amaaaaaaaazing. The lyrics are poetry--insightful, gorgeous. OH EM GEE I HEART THEM SO MUCH.
Guess what? Their MP3 album Sigh No More is on sale at Amazon for $5 this month. $5! I got so excited, I wanted to buy it again. And that's not all! Other $5 albums, all of which I have obsessed over at some point, include: The Fray, The Fray; Incubus, Make Yourself (the lyrics of the title song are words to live by, my friends); Sara Bareilles, Little Voice; 30 Seconds to Mars, A Beautiful Lie. All recommended purchases.
But I digress. I was gushing about Mumford & Sons.
This is my favorite song off the album (at least, my favorite as of this moment), After the Storm. Sorry about the video--I couldn't find a decent enough live performance (because of crowd noise, not because of them--they sound great live) and there's no official video yet.
And you may have heard this one on the radio. It's brilliant! It's called Little Lion Man.
So anyway. Check 'em out.

This is when I'm sad we live so far apart. My hairdresser turned me on to Mumford and Sons in October, now somehow I feel bad for not sharing back then!
Aw, don't feel bad! I'm totally behind on this one. Everyone's like "You're JUST finding them NOW??" :)
